Lawffice Links - While I was Out . . .

I took a brief break over the holidays, but I didn't completely ignore the blog. I stayed busy baking up some fresh Lawffice Links to cover the time I was out:

• Right before Christmas, the NLRB gave us a gift . . . a Facebook Firing Decision (via Jon Hyman).
• Comic Relief: An amicus brief submitted in comic book format (3.2MB) (HT Katherine Allen).
• In a bipartisan move (yes, you read that correctly), the Senate confirmed two judges to the Middle District of Pennsylvania (my home district).
• As the year ended, all of America was worried about the NFL playoff picture and college bowl games the "fiscal cliff" - crisis averted as our beloved government worked out a deal.
• What did I do? Hung out with my family, watched the entire Dark Knight Trilogy, and read The Hobbit (haven't made it to the theatre to see the movie version yet). I haven't read it since I was in about 4th grade . . . I didn't remember there being so much singing - is the new movie a musical?

Happy 2013! Drop a comment if you have any newsworthy events from the last week or so, or just want to let me know what you did over the holidays.
