Morning Docket: 01.10.22
* We are still in a political climate where a not Forbes 400 rich, but still rich guy can treat charges for inciting a riot like making a traffic ticket disappear. Woo. [Reuters] * Working at a law firm in Philly? You may not need to change out of those sweatpants for a little longer. [Law.com] * Federal judges gave most of the failed coup'ers lighter sentences than prosecutors recommended. I didn't expect them to get life in jail for stealing 9 bucks or anything, but come on. [The Crime Report] * The United States imposes visa restrictions on Cuban officials as a punishment to their connection to arresting citizens for peaceful protests. I hope other countries don't return the favor. [Jurist] * OSHA! COVID test for OSHA! Starbucks mandates vaccines or weekly COVID tests for its employees to keep in line with OSHA. [Legal Reader]
