This is a bad ruling for all of the reasons Justice Jackson’s dissent make clear. But as both the majority and dissent point out, it’s not likely to have major effects *this* cycle because we’re inside the 90-day NVRA purge window.

Why California Was Willing to Cave to Paramount

Why California Was Willing to Cave to Paramount

Eight Zoom boxes, each occupied by lawyers for Paramount or California, flanked the judge on the screen. A month ago, they were locked in a bruising legal showdown, with both sides looking for an edge in the lawsuit challenging the creation of Hollywood’s next entertainment and media colossus.

“The court isn’t a rubber stamp of your agreement… I have some questions.” The judge said she wanted to “shore up the idea that this is not something that was the result of collusion, but instead was more of an arm’s length process.” Interesting but I guess we’ll see
