And like the worst 1L in your section, he can't identify who he could sue or on what grounds. [ Law360]"
"* Law firm pushing Brown University to delete research revealing that anti-wind power groups get their money from conservative political networks.

[ Law.com]"
"* Ken Paxton orders Texas public schools to hang Ten Commandments despite court order blocking the obviously unconstitutional law. [ Houston Chronicle] * In wake of PACER hack, Senator Wyden asks for independent review of the judiciary's cybersecurity to see if John Roberts is botching that as badly as all his other tasks as Chief Justice. [ Reuters] * White House appeals ruling that Alina Habba is not actually the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. This is approaching "George Costanza showing up at the office after quitting" levels.
