Morning Docket: 02.15.23

* If you want vigorous antitrust enforcement, you've got to break a few eggs... or at least shed some Republican members of the FTC. The Federal Trade Commission's Christine S. Wilson is leaving the agency over Chair Lina Khan's leadership priorities. [Law360] * The National Labor Relations Board may be changing course on a widespread anti-unionization tactic. The NLRB's general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo's latest advice memo takes aim at misleading statements by employers during unionization drives, looking to overturn precedent from 1985. [Corporate Counsel] * Family of Emmett Till would really like the arrest warrant in his 1955 lynching served. And they're filing a federal lawsuit to make it happen. [Law & Crime] * After spending 28 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Lamar Johnson is a free man. [Huffington Post] * The Department of Justice would really like it if you couldn't select exactly which far-right federal judge heard your case. Of course, the "worst judge in the United States" probably won't end the practice that's garnered him so much notoriety. [Vox]
