Morning Docket: 12.14.15
* Donald Trump has opinions on Supreme Court justices. He thinks that Roberts is "disgraceful," that Scalia was "very tough" on black students, and that he loves Thomas. Perhaps he should take a cue from his favorite justice and shut up. [CNN; Associated Press] * An easy peasy solution? Rather than amend the Constitution, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says that he'll just appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn the decision in the Obergefell case because he thinks that gay marriage is "bad law." [ThinkProgress] * Gibson Dunn has billed about $8 million to defend New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in the Bridgegate scandal thus far, so here's a thought: perhaps you should show your hard-working associates some appreciation and announce bonuses already. [Fox News] * Taylor Swift filed trademark applications for five signature phrases (Swiftmas, Blank Space, And I'll Write Your Name, A Girl Named Girl, and 1989). If you infringe upon any of them, you can expect that she'll be writing your name -- on a lawsuit. [USA Today] * Braeden Anderson, the Seton Hall law student and ball player who divides his time between the courtroom and the basketball court, has had one hell of a 1L year. When he graduates, this extremely lucky guy may have a job -- with the NBA. [New York Times]
