Good morning from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where lawyers for the federal government and Russian cyber firm Kaspersky are about to face off before a three-judge panel over Kaspersky's request to invalidate a government-wide ban on its products.

Stay tuned.
Oral arguments are over and it sure seemed like the judges were more skeptical of Kaspersky's arguments than the government's.
K tried to argue that the ban was an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Judges seemed to accept USG argument about national security risks.
