Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 05.17.24

* Sam Alito flew an upside-down flag at his home in the aftermath of the insurrection. He blames his wife because that's what the Framers would've done. [NY Times] * Police arrested the top-ranked golfer in the world for trying to go to the golf course. Man, Rory McIlroy is thinking outside the box! [ESPN] * This might’ve played differently in the room, but the media seems thirsty for drama. When a lawyer starts yelling at the witness like a high school production of A Few Good Men, it generally comes across as buffoonish. [CNN] * Simpson Thacher's top partners cross the $20 million threshold. [Bloomberg Law News] * Tesla responds to allegations that it tried to silence law professor. [Law360] * Another firm does the "Of course" thing. Why is this still happening and why has some American firm done it yet that we can make fun of? [Roll on Friday] * John Oates opens up about the Hall and Oates legal feud. Seems there was a bit of a Possession Obsession and Hall might've been Out of Touch so Oates thought leaving might Make [Hall's] Dreams Come True. [6 ABC]
