Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.15.25

* Supreme Court allows Trump to move forward with plan to eliminate the Department of Education. Why? Well, that might require writing an opinion and they're not going to do something like that. [One First] * Plaintiff side firms can be just as lucrative for associates as Biglaw... and people are just now figuring that out. [Left Side of the V] * Government argues that it should not have to reveal its agency reorganization plans, even though the only basis for last week's Supreme Court order was that the government had to reveal its plans and the courts can evaluate this issue then. It's almost as though one justice knew this was all a lie. [Bloomberg Law News] * Sixth Circuit nominee confirmed. [Law360] * Administration installing more nationwide abortion advocates in key positions. Surely nothing to worry about at a time when the Supreme Court has deferred absolute authority to the executive. [Balls and Strikes] * DOJ announces it's mainstreaming the theory that media outlets refusing to be compelled to publish misinformation is ACTUALLY an antitrust violation. [The Verge] * A look at Nevada's decision to reject the NextGen bar exam and what comes next. [Law.com]
