Non-Sequiturs
Non-Sequiturs: 03.07.16
* Shocking, Donald Trump is being hypocritical about something. This time it’s over immigration, so maybe these lies will finally break through to Trump’s low-education supporters who are voting against their interests due to xenophobic fears over their jobs moving abroad. [Bloomberg Politics]
* Check out the financial disclosures of the potential SCOTUS nominees that have been floated thus far. [Fix the Court]
* Common sense: consumer-owned drones should not be armed. Unfortunately, it isn’t really against the law. And the one state that is trying to ban them may be breaking federal law. [Slate]
* Trent Lott is breaking with the GOP leadership over whether President Obama’s eventual Supreme Court nominee deserves a hearing. [CNN]
* Church and state: yes, they are supposed to be separate. Even at the VA. [Huffington Post]
* Absolutely, positively the worst boss ever. [Lowering the Bar]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 03.16.15
* Last week in court, a murder suspect in Louisiana apparently pooped his pants during a case status hearing, wiped said poop all over his face, and muttered to himself that “life is like a box of chocolates.” Sorry about that crappy candy, dude. [New Orleans Advocate]
* According to early Am Law 100 data, New York’s most elite and prestigious firms have once again broken away from the rest of the pack when it comes to both revenue and partner profits. Biglaw’s best may be back to models and bottles. [Am Law Daily]
* Michelle Lee, the first woman to ever serve as director of the USPTO, was sworn in on stage at SXSW Interactive. Michelle Lee, who worked with the Girl Scouts to issue a patent patch (instead of more makeup and sewing patches), is pretty damn awesome. [Mashable]
* The federal judiciary has plans to decrease the word limit of appellate briefs from 14,000 to 12,500, and lawyers are pissed. Lawyers from Brown Rudnick say it could result in more acronyms, confusing construction, and less “punctilious citation,” oh my! [WSJ Law Blog]
* Lee Smolen, the ex-Sidley Austin partner who faked $69,000 in travel expenses while at the firm (and possibly $379K more), has been suspended from practice for one year and will have to undergo psychiatric treatment. [Legal Profession Blog via ABA Journal]
* Taking New York’s lead, California is considering requiring all would-be attorneys in the state to complete 50 hours of pro bono work within one year of being admitted. Leave it to people who don’t know what they’re doing yet to close the justice gap. [Los Angeles Times]

* Alabama “welcomes visitors,” but reserves the right to question their papers. The state won’t get the chance to show visitors this kind of southern hospitality any time soon thanks to an injunction. [CNN] * Someone in the Facebook marketing department must have realized that there’s no publicity like free publicity, because the company’s trademark […]
