I wouldn’t be surprised if the government withdraws the dismissal motion and there are further twists and turns from here.

I still wonder whether the DC AUSAs filed the filing (which is not entirely honest itself) while Pirro was busy doing press conferences. Pirro worked REALLY hard in the Taylor Taranto case to protect Trump's fee fees. edition.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

Trump and Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime ally of the president, spoke by phone on Saturday about the court filing. Their conversation “wasn’t pretty,” said one of the sources, who was read out on the call.

Pirro told Trump it was the career officials in her office that were responsible for the filing, another source said. A longtime prosecutor who oversees prosecutions in DC Superior Court signed the court filing asking to dismiss the case on Friday.

We're about two years away from people routinely saying "exceeded the context window" while discussing something unrelated to AI. It'll start in corporate speak, but it'll quickly seep into everyday talk. E.g., "It's been great, but I just think our relationship has exceeded its context window."

Congratulations to profs Cynthia Godsoe, Nicole Smith Futrell, Daniel Medwed, Justin Murray, Abbe Smith, and Steven Zeidman on their win for public transparency and accountability at the Second Circuit. ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/OP...

Defendant-Appellant Presiding Justice Hector D. LaSalle of the Second
Judicial Department of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State
of New York (“Justice LaSalle” or “the State”) appeals from a judgment entered on
July 22, 2024, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (Victor Marrero, District Judge). In 2021, Plaintiffs-Appellees filed grievance
complaints against purportedly unethical New York state prosecutors with the
Attorney Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial
Districts of the Second Judicial Department of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York. After the Grievance Committee informed
them that any resulting proceedings against the twenty-one prosecutors would
remain confidential, Plaintiffs-Appellees brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,
asserting that Section 90(10) of the New York Judiciary Law, which by default seals
and mandates confidentiality of attorney grievance matters, violates their First
Amendment right of access as applied to their complaints. At summary judgment,
the district court ruled that a First Amendment presumption of access does attach
to formal disciplinary hearings in the Second Department, to records necessary to
understand those hearings, and to final dispositions by the Grievance Committee.
Because Section 90(10) impermissibly interferes with that right, the district court
found the statute to be unconstitutional as applied against Plaintiffs-Appellees’
complaints.
On appeal, we find that, despite the State’s contentions otherwise, Plaintiffs-
Appellees’ claims are ripe and abstention, pursuant to O’Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S.
488 (1974), is unwarranted. Upon de novo review, we conclude that the experience-
and-logic test supports a qualified, presumptive First Amendment right of access
to formal disciplinary hearings in the Second Department, including all pertinent
records, and select dispositions of the Grievance Comm…

I've seen "Eastbound & Down" and "The Righteous Gemstones" twice. But I've never seen "Vice Principals." Now watching, I realize it's the essential narrative link between the two shows, the Linear B of Danny McBride.

This paper is great. I think one of the failings of American law professors is not doing enough to advise our student-editors that good legal scholarship needn’t be prescriptive.
