Morning Docket: 11.12.21
* Trump thinks it's reasonable that his followers were yelling "Hang Mike Pence." I knew he was the vice president, but who knew the vice was wrath? [Daily Beast] * One way to support our service folks might be allowing them to sue the Defense Department. [San Francisco Chronicle] * Rittenhouse's judge is starting to give me Alabama vibes. Money on which group he's gonna piss off next? [CNN] * Oop, found the answer, he's gonna piss off the impartiality people. Applauding a person about to take the stand might lead to prejudicial deference to their testimony — who knew? [Rolling Stone] * In a win for labor rights, immigrant detainees in Washington will have to be paid at least minimum wage! Woop woop! [Time]
