#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants the Trump administration’s stay request in the FCC political ads case—effectively absolving the FCC of any requirement to complete the administrative process regarding its relaxing of the “lowest unit charge” rule before the midterms. Justices Sotomayor & Jackson dissent.

As a (real) lawyer, this is absolutely the right step. We have unauthorized practice of law statutes for a reason. You can't just go around calling yourself a lawyer (and assuming the authority that entails) if you are not. Going to law school isn't enough to make you a lawyer.

Clement and Sotomayor are fighting over what a "consumer" is now. Because the videos from 247sports are "free" Clement says they're not "consumers" of the videos, and thus not protected by the law. IF THE PRODUCT IS "FREE"... *YOU* ARE THE PRODUCT!!!!!

The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.
