Morning Docket: 05.16.24

* Biden asserts executive privilege over audio recordings underlying the special counsel transcripts in the Biden classified document case, which had found no basis for criminal charges but did call him old for 50 pages. Congress apparently wanted the tapes so they could see if he really said "consarnit" or something. [CNN] * Conservative justices green light new likely Democratic congressional seat in Louisiana. Liberals object to new "Purcell is whatever we feel like doctrine." We've said it before, but "whatever WE feel like" is the Court's guiding voting rights doctrine. [Reuters] * Ohio banning cell phones from school so no one has to be depressed by panicked student phone calls because the state won't ban guns. [Fox8] * Malpractice claims reach all-time high last year. [American Lawyer] * Law firms fear AI will lead to lower profits... if there's one thing we can trust Biglaw to handle it's turning a profit out of any market condition. [Bloomberg Law News] * Menendez mistrial bid fails because apparently collecting gold bars is not an official act for a government official. [New York Law Journal] * States' rights literally makes America sick. [ABA Journal]
