@kenwhite.bsky.social, why isn't Bovino an accessory after the fact? MN 2025 Code 609.495(1)(a) ("Whoever . . . conceals, aids, or assists by word or acts another whom the actor knows or has reason to know has committed a crime . . .)

Now, most days when she goes to work, Ms. Withrow plans ahead to minimize
her need to use the restroom during her workday. She starves herself-skipping breakfast almost
every day and generally lunch as well. When she eats lunch, it is usually a granola bar or a
spoonful of peanut butter, except on special occasions or when she can be reasonably certain she
will not be required to leave her building for any extended period. And she dehydrates herself-
most days drinking a single cup of coffee and drinking as little water as possible.

The Orr injunction covers a class that expressly excludes our plaintiffs, who had filed a separate case.

I'm proud to have represented the transgender plaintiffs in this case along with a great team at @lambdalegal.org, and grateful that the court has ordered the State Department to issue passports with accurate sex markers as required by the Equal Protection Clause.

Twitter post that reads:
Friends β€” as you know, I'm both a mom and mayor, raising a delightful 7 year old on my own. This week, I cancelled a scheduled family trip to lead our city's crisis management efforts. I also made the more difficult decision to not disrupt my daughter's camp plans. I needed to get to her on Wednesday after work and bring her home, which I will do tomorrow. I am in constant contact with my senior team and have been in constant consultation with our partners throughout a short swing out of the District.

She is the single mother of a 7-year-old daughter who needs to be picked up at camp, which she is doing and then returning to the District. I think she's capable of multi-tasking for 1 day.

And I looked at your other paper. β€œOncology” etc. is not an antitrust market. And looking at clinical trials means looking at products generally without revenue and thus not subject to Section 8 anyway. Even with revenue the 2% or 4% de minimis thresholds likely apply.

I looked at n.101 of the paper, which says competitors are identified with a β€œproprietary methodology” by Pitchbook.

I'm skeptical of the accuracy of the definition of competitor. It seems unlikely that 30% of pharma and biotech companies have interlocks in markets that are properly defined (i.e not "pharmaceuticals"). With 2500 companies in the sample, most are going to have only a handful of products.

Sentence in a brief supporting a motion for preliminary injunction that reads "The Agency Defendants have no more unreviewable discretion under the Passport Act to require incorrect sex markers on passports than they do to order that all Jewish passport applicants use the name Israel or Sara."  The footnote cites to the Nazi Second Decree Implementing the Law on the Alteration of Family and Personal Names and the English translation of the decree reprinted in the Nuremberg War Crime Prosecutor's collection of war crimes materials.

Filed our motion for PI challenging the State Department's rules for gender markers on passports. This might be my favorite footnote ever.

@kenwhite.bsky.social, is it good when a federal judge calls your arguments β€œbad faith,” β€œspecious,” β€œarbitrarily cramped,” a β€œdeliberate evasion of their fundamental discovery obligations,” and β€œwillful and intentional noncompliance”?

The opening paragraph:β€œThe Order is an unconstitutional abomination and it should only continue to exist in Continuing Legal Education materials to teach lawyers and judges precisely what not to do – ever – when it comes to the issuance of preliminary relief against speech.”

Wow. Just wow.

Kudos to the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is the largest law firm that is not either itself target by Trump or representing a firm targeted by Trump to sign the amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Put another way, A&P has no direct financial interest in the outcome of the case and yet signed.

Post from the ADL on X stating:

White supremacists and other antisemites have long used conspiracy theories about the Leo Frank case to cast doubt on the circumstances of the antisemitic lynching of Leo Frank z"l. 

We're deeply disturbed that any public official would parrot these hateful and false conspiracy theories, and we hope Kingsley Wilson will immediately retract her remarks.

The OpEd says the nearest big box store is 50 miles away. Discrimination in favor of that big box store has no impact on competition and thus is not reached by the RP Act regardless.
