Link to Rudy Giuliani's suspension order.

nycourts.gov/courts/ad1/cal…
It's an interim suspension pending an opportunity for Giuliani to request a full hearing. The rule allows an interim suspension when the facts are uncontroverted.

"For the reasons that follow, we conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent
communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection
in 2020. These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative
that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client. We conclude that respondent’s conduct
immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law, pending further proceedings before the Attorney Grievance Committee (sometimes AGC or Committee)."

1. On Rudy: When you're admitted to practice of law you accept that your speech will be subject to prior restraints. You have to self-censor, or you can get into trouble. The significance of Rudy Giuliani's interim suspension is that the lies that have flooded American
2. discourse are "lies" and judicial officers who possess equitable powers that are not easily subject to majoritarian legislative fiat, can call a lie a lie and the attorney representing the lying attorney faces the same mine field if they continue the fraud on the courts.
3. Attorney discipline is a place where none of the nonsense is tolerated. Why is this so important? Because litigation is coming against the forces that caused the attack on the Capitol. This propaganda industry played a critical role in the attack by

Four SCOTUS decisions just released:
•LANGE v. CALIFORNIA
•MAHANOY AREA SCHOOL DIST. v. B. L.
•COLLINS v. YELLEN
•CEDAR POINT NURSERY v. HASSID
Lange Holding: Under the Fourth Amendment, pursuit of a fleeing misdemeanor suspect does not always—that is, categorically—justify a warrantless entry into a home.
Hahanoy Holding: Held: While public schools may have a special interest in regulating some off-campus student speech, the special interests offered by the school are not sufficient to overcome B. L.’s interest in free expression in this case.

Unanimous #SCOTUS throws out NCAA Rules that restrict educational related player compensation. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
From Kavanaugh's concurrence:

But this case involves only a narrow subset of the NCAA’s compensation rules—namely, the rules restricting the education-related benefits that student athletes may receive, such as post-eligibility scholarships at graduate or vocational schools.
The rest of the NCAA’s compensation rules are not at issue here and therefore remain on the books. Those remaining compensation rules generally restrict student athletes from receiving compensation or benefits from their colleges for playing sports. And those rules have also

1. "Russian Foreign Affairs Spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova said Turkey's presence in Afghanistan would be contrary to an agreement reached between the United States and the Taliban."

2. I couldn't figure out why Putin is acting like the Taliban's jailhouse lawyer. Then it hit me. IMO Putin is planning to again flood Europe with desperate Moslem refugees as part of his long-range plan to destabilize the Western democracies.
3. @POTUS Joe Biden may think the US has no need to stay in Afghanistan but when the slaughter starts Europe is where the flood of refugees will head not the US. @GermanyDiplo and others in Europe may want to consider if they have an interest in in avoiding a repeat of

1. On religious free exercise case, all 9 agreed on the result but they were far from in agreement. This is not the end of this push towards a SCOTUS-created National Religion. And news flash to Evangelicals who think they won: Your National religion is going to be Catholic.

BREYER, J., joined as to all but the first paragraph.

1. From the @nytimes

"Justice Department officials say that all appropriate approvals were given for those orders, meaning that the attorney general at the time, not Mr. Demers, signed off."

For what it's worth, I think Demers is one of the good guys.
2. Jeff Sessions was AG in February 2018. IMO they know what happened. Now they need to know why. I think it was the leak. I recall among my first impressions when Flynn was outed in February 2017, that someone might pay for the leak but my suspicion
3. was and remains that Flynn and Trump were involved in Special Nuclear Material proliferation. The FISA wasn't specifically about Russia though Russia was involved. It was about nukes. And FISA wasn't being used for foreign agents, it also covers proliferation.
