If the FTC noncompete rule is blocked and Biden wins the election, I expect he’ll try to ban federal contractors from using noncompetes.
Standard General Claims Racial Bias By FCC In Tegna Deal law360.com/technology/art…
States challenging EPA's methane regulation are seeking to stay its enforcement. Panel that will consider the motion is Judges Rao, Walker, and Garcia.
The Senate confirmed Jeff Clark. Maybe that’s not the best barometer to use?

Senator Steve Daines says the White House did not consult him on Danna Jackson, today's nominee to the federal district court in Montana. He does not rule out supporting her, however. This could be the end of blue slips for district courts.
A federal judge has held North Carolina's felon disenfranchisement scheme is unconstitutional because it was enacted with discriminatory intent and disproportionately impacts black people. No citation to either the Thomas Jefferson admissions case or the illegal reentry case.
Assuming lower courts block the FTC noncompete rule, I don’t think the solicitor general will appeal to the Supreme Court. *However,* the FTC has independent litigating authority and could choose to go to the Supreme Court on its own. If that happens, all bets are off.
When did Columbia join the chain of command under Title 32?
Leader Schumer filed cloture on Executive Calendar #598 Georgia N. Alexakis to be United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois.
If physician noncompetes affect healthcare costs that significantly, I’m surprised CMS hasn’t thought to scour the statute books for plausible authority to ban them. 🤷♂️
I forgot that the FCC will revive net neutrality on Thursday.

Boy turns 18, go to a game, and he picks a college. Good day.
The college decided to make ombudsman title gender neutral so we now have an “ombuds.” Incidentally this is one of the very few loan words from Swedish in English.

@dissproportion My parents both died at 70/71. They didn't even have me that late, but they were gone by the time I was ~40 Life doesn't last as long as you'd like.
It seems pretty clear that plenty of parents view private school snobbery/old money networks with some degree of disdain but (rightly) assign very high value to having their kids around other kids of similar aptitude.
This is a smart thread. Many public schools are in areas so expensive that they’re de facto private schools, yet progressive parents want moral street cred for sending their kids to “public” school when they bought a million dollar home in a district that is public in name only.
@fedjudges Reagan wasn't right about everything. God forbid people just say so and live in the present.
Google Location History settlement approved today. Attorneys get $19M. Class gets zero. Variety of largely left-leaning nonprofits (and no right-leaning nonprofits) get $42M: * ACLU gets $7M to promote abortion * Rose Foundation gets a $6M slush fund to give grants…
@fedjudges I think their reasoning is that because his counsel conceded guilt before the jury, there was no prejudice as to the guilt phase. Their first opinion (the one that got reversed) discussed this in more detail

People had Harvard admissions rescinded over intemperate group chat messages made at the age of 15.
We’re going to need to allow some room for a lot of young people to snap out of it in the coming years. Some punishment is deserved here, but a vindictive pile-on may only add to their sense of alienation and oppression. A bit of grace could go a long way.
One of the rumors (verified at this point?) last Dec is that when the Harvard Board was deliberating whether to tell C Gay to step down, Obama called into the meeting and told them not to do it. They understood him, not themselves, to be the ultimate authority in academic matters
In 2020 Dems were scrambling to please a part of their coalition that hates the tests; now theyre scrambling to please a part which has benefited from them. The elite unis are rewriting their mission statements every 4 yrs, slavishly following these petty coalitional mechanics.
