Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.14.22

* Elon Musk has reportedly ousted Quinn Emanuel's Alex Spiro as Twitter's top -- if not official -- legal counsel. That makes sense, because Spiro is a noted litigator and, having looked at Tesla's stock price, what Musk really needs these days is some bankruptcy counsel. [NY Times] * Milbank adds 40 lawyers in London, which is a lot even in the metric system. [American Lawyer] * Ron DeSantis asks for a grand jury to investigate COVID "crimes" like "trying to save people" and other science-based heresies. [Law360] * Biden signed the same-sex marriage bill in a landmark achievement that will last just as long as it takes to get to the Supreme Court. [Guardian] * Lawyers on both sides argue that federal judge can't hire a historian to gauge the validity of originalism arguments. Because history is critical to constitutional law... but only when strung together from cherry-picked news clippings by lawyers. [CNN]
