Morning Docket: 05.16.19

* Alabama's new abortion law takes aim at a Supreme Court that just all but junked stare decisis. How's that "no drama" Court looking, Mr. Chief Justice? [NPR] * Law firms are in the midst of a decent financial run, so obviously they've stopped innovating because self-relection is for losers. [American Lawyer] * John Dowd has registered as a lobbyist eschewing the customary diplomatic game of pretending not to be a lobbyist for a couple years after leaving the service of the president. [National Law Journal] * Trump pardoned Conrad Black, a fraudster who has taken to calling the Mueller probe a sham... which appears to be a criminal's ticket to exoneration these days. [Law360] * SEC enforcement actions are reaching a fever pitch and they're making sure they stay out of court. [Corporate Counsel] * "I considered crashing my car just to take a week off...." [Legal Cheek]
