* It looks like SCOTUSblog's Tom Goldstein was onto something, because Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is reportedly being vetted to fill Justice Antonin Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court. The D.D.C. judge once clerked for Justice Stephen Breyer, and may wind up working alongside him on the high court as an associate justice (which could be a first). [National Law Journal] * Justice Scalia's death quickly affected some SCOTUS litigants: Dow Chemical settled an antitrust class-action suit for $835M because "[g]rowing political uncertainties ... and increased likelihood for unfavorable outcomes for business involved in class-action suits have changed Dow's risk assessment of the situation." [Big Law Business / Bloomberg] * Abortion returns to the SCOTUS this week, and litigants are wondering which version of Justice Kennedy they'll receive when a decision is made. If Gonzales v.
