Non-Sequiturs: 06.16.16

* Superfans of Seinfeld will remember the Michigan bottle scam, wherein Kramer and Newman try to return bottles to Michigan for the 10 cent deposit. Apparently, that's a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison, as this poor sap is learning the hard way. [11 Points] * Intelligence Squared is circulating a petition to fix the presidential debate. They want to see robust policy discussions not gotcha questions... maybe this'd work if Donald Trump weren't one of the candidates. [Change.org] * You need to take care of yourself in order to fight the legal battles that need to be fought. [Katz Justice] * Now that the D.C. Circuit has upheld the FCC's right to enforce net neutrality, what will the Supreme Court do about it? [Slate] * Has the fact that there are only 8 justices on the Supreme Court affected its cert rate? [Empirical SCOTUS] * U.S. District Judge David Godbey ruled, no, Texas, you can't sue the federal government over Syrian refugees. [Huffington Post]
