Morning Docket: 08.26.13
* Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was chatty this week. In terms of same-sex marriage, the Notorious R.B.G. thinks “[t]he court handled both of those cases just the way they should have.” [Bloomberg] * And just like a mean girl, Ruthie’s claws were out. After calling the Roberts Court “one of the most activist courts in history,” she offered comments on Justice Samuel Alito’s eye-rolling. [New York Times] * Don’t cry for Argentina, the truth is it never respected you. After losing an appeal at the Second Circuit, the country has vowed to defy any of the court’s rulings with which it doesn’t agree.

It’s too bad that the Baroness of Butter’s career sunk like a spoiled soufflé in the process. [Businessweek] * New York’s AG filed a $40M suit against Donald Trump, a rich man who can’t afford a decent hairstylist and allegedly makes students at Trump University weep with his “bait-and-switch” tactics. [NBC News]

* You realize that if the general public could kill all the lawyers and replace them with robots, they’d do it in a second. [Slate] * Dear career women: choice is an illusion. [The Careerist] * Moms can’t complain without being sued for defamation? [Overlawyered] * Why be small enough to fail when you can […]
