Morning Docket: 06.22.18

* Paul Manafort loses evidence motion. He should embrace that feeling of loss. [Courthouse News Service] * CNBC criticizes the Cohen case Special Master, Judge Barbara Jones, for charging $330K for document review. This is, of course, an entirely reasonable fee for a case of this import but CNBC has clearly let their bias flag fly. [CNBC] * While America focuses, fairly, on children suffering institutional child abuse, please take a second to remember that cops straight up killed a teenager running from a traffic stop. One could say, "why was he running?" but I've seen the video of Philando Castile's death -- staying peacefully in a car isn't necessarily safe anymore. [CBS News] * The new awareness of widespread sexual harassment in the workplace may have another positive side effect: women are advancing to partnership faster than before. [American Lawyer] * Dumb people are up in arms that the ACLU might shift its resources away from random Nazis toward other projects that don't have hordes of self-styled rebel lawyers and downright crypto-fascist attorneys ready to defend them pro bono. This video, however, is exactly why the ACLU is right to reorient itself to focus on more pressing challenges. [io9] * Trump proposes merging the Education Department with the Department of Labor. Do you know how hard he had to work to make this not his dumbest idea of the week? We're going to have to build the Starship Trump just so America doesn't focus on this nonsense. [NPR] * NY's Mayor is doing more to protect unfairly targeted immigrants than almost anyone in America and his policy has a glaring, awful hole in its provision of legal aid. [NY Daily News]
