* Ken Paxton will not testify at his impeachment trial. I mean… why add perjury to this list? [Reuters]
* The revelation that the attorneys in 303 Creative tried to create fictional standing can’t force the Court to revisit the case, but could be the basis of ethical claims against the attorneys. Just because the Supreme Court is in on the fraud doesn’t make it any less of a fraud. [Yahoo Sports]
* Federal judge who had already become a go to judge for the “let’s all die of COVID” lobby, blocks White House from communicating with social media platforms, complaining that the government had done too much to push back against anti-vaxx misinformation. [Business Insider]
* It will shock you to learn that a core Trump business interest is slapped with an $18 million SEC fine. [Law360]
* The morass of web-scraping laws and the future of AI. [Bloomberg Law News]
* While everyone focused on the Supreme Court’s broad-based assault on constitutional and statutory norms last week, they also quietly kicked to the curb a challenge aimed at a law explicitly created as part of Jim Crow voter suppression. [The Guardian]
* Lawyer accused of murdering lawyer father. [NY Post]
