[Legal Cheek] * An historical analysis of how prohibition law led to the modern right wing. Fascinating stuff. [Slate] * Following up on a benchslap from back in April, Judge Charles Rendlen suspends another lawyer as "dishonest and dangerously incompetent." Feel free to read the whole thing here. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] * Gibson Dunn's Debra Wong Yang, who has billed NJ taxpayers more hours in connection with the Bridgegate investigation than any other lawyer, is now hosting a big-dollar fundraiser for Christie 2016.
