Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 09.16.20

* The New York Attorney General has announced a settlement with Dunkin' over a security breach. I don't mind others knowing how much pumpkin coffee I've been drinking... [CBS News] * Oral arguments at New York's highest court were canceled earlier this month because one of the attorneys had a high temperature. [Brooklyn Eagle] * The Justice Department is looking into whether John Bolton (not Michael Bolton) improperly divulged confidential information in his new book. [Fox News] * A Texas lawyer has pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs into a jail. [CBS News] * Facebook apparently may be subject to an antitrust lawsuit sometime this year. MySpace is still a competitor of theirs.... right? [Yahoo News] * The family of Breonna Taylor has settled their claims against the City of Louisville, Kentucky, for $12 million. [CNN] * A new lawsuit asserts Bud Light's Lime-A-Ritas falsely suggest they have tequila. Maybe Bud can assert the "beer before liquor, never sicker" defense. [Fox News]

Non-Sequiturs: 06.05.13

* Washington is facing an unexpected issue with its new marijuana laws: training all the drug-sniffing dogs not to go crazy over pot. [Volokh Conspiracy] * Maryland v. King, but with more Betty Draper. [Eff Yeah SCOTUS] * The International Trade Commission has banned the importation of older iPhones and iPads for patent infringement based on a standard-essential patent. Don’t know what that means? Well, it’s kind of a big deal. [FOSS Patents] * A federal judge likens herself to the Hulk because she lengthens sentences over the objections of prosecutors. When we first wrote about Judge Rose, Staci felt the one Senator voting against her confirmation needed a good reason. This is that reason. [Des Moines Register] * Student trolls law professor to get grades posted before she can finish the professor’s book. The race is on! [Josh Blackman's Blog] * As previously mentioned, THE Ohio State University President Gordon Gee was in hot water. Now he’s been s**tcanned retiring. Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino declared Gee a “pompous ass.” One tipster noted, “Pitino Rick is an expert on the subject of pompous. Restaurant Sex too.” [CBS Sports] * Lots of lawyers are former debaters. If you are looking to give back, there’s a new organization trying to raise money for high school debate in Kalamazoo. I mention this partly because I care about the cause, but mostly because I like writing Kalamazoo. [Go Fund Me] * After reviewing the mindblowingly crazy BARBRI lecturer vid yesterday, Themis sent us a couple of their bar prep vids. Enjoy after the jump…
