* Rudolph sues for discrimination. This is why you should always let guys play in your reindeer games. [Bolek Besser Glesius LLC] * Congressional gridlock may call off... the Super Bowl? At least the Bears have other things to worry about than planning for the post-season. [Redline] * Hot damn, Keith Lee. "ABA 509 Matriculant Data On All Ranked Schools." That's... wow. [Associate's Mind] * The Senate torture report may be an ugly, but there's an argument that it hides a silver lining. [What About Clients?] * What isn't the D.C. Circuit doing today? [Constitutional Accountability Center] * Document reviewers may have known that emails weren't really private for years, but other professions understood the lack of true privacy much longer. [Law and More] * David is interviewed about Supreme Ambitions (affiliate link). [ABA Journal] * Bill O'Reilly invites on an "HLS student" -- who is also a conservative commentator -- to say a bunch of racial codewords under the guise of exam extensions. Look, I wouldn't ask for an exam extension if my leg were caught in a bear trap, but you know what? I couldn't care less if other people got extensions. Quit your whining (and appearing on TV) and go study for your own damn self! [Fox News]

Hilarious satirical piece by John Frank Weaver. [McSweeney's] * Are you getting married? Are you planning to change your name? Huge mistake. The name part at least. Maybe the married part, I don't know your deal. [The American Lawyer] * The Onion surveys the reaction to the Columbia Law exam policy. [The Onion] * You can't force welfare recipients to get drug tests. Which was kind of obvious but still required a court to weigh in. [Pathologyblawg] * A New York judge allegedly stroked his secretary's face, forced her to give him hugs, and regaled her with explicit tales of sex with his mistress. [New York Post] * There's a wealth of information in this post about the ABA 509 Information Reports.
