Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.30.18

* Vice President Mike Pence says he's "confident" that Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed to the Supreme Court "before the fall is out" -- and he's probably correct about that. [FOX Business] * In other news related to the high court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she's got "at least five more years" on the Supreme Court before she'll think about stepping down. As always, RBG continues to remain NO-NO-NO-NOTORIOUS! [CNN] * According to one of President Trump's former lawyers, Rudy Giuliani has weakened the case against Michael Cohen by flip-flopping on the man's credibility, referring to him as an "an honest, honorable lawyer" and later as a "pathological liar." [CNN] * Just in case you forgot, not only did Michael Cohen go to the "worst law school in the country," but "[h]e's bitter Trump didn’t give him a job." [Page Six / New York Post] * Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has filed a "political conspiracy" lawsuit over his failed bid for the U.S. Senate seat that was left vacant by AG Jeff Sessions, claiming that false advertisements were behind his loss. [Newsweek] * Last week, Facebook lost more than $100 billion in value, the biggest single-day loss in stock market history. Shareholders have responded in the most obvious way possible, with a proposed class-action lawsuit. [New York Law Journal] * After its unexpected closure, Savannah Law School will soon find new life -- as an art school. The Savannah College of Art and Design purchased the law school building from Atlanta's John Marshall Law for a cool $27.5 million. [Savannah Morning News]
