I’ll just finish fleshing out the record here, on a couple of cases — as I sip my hot coffee over Sunday brunch. First one, Rudy says he “welcomes” (Hah!) the completely humiliating loss of last night, in federal court in Pennsylvania — as he can’t wait to get to the Supremes… erh, good luck with that, Mr. Kraken/Leaky-Head.

An additional thought on Rudy’s G.’s quixotic quest: it is not clear whether he’ll file first in the Third Circuit, in order to at least marginally increase the chances that he might get a hearing at the Supremes, or whether he’ll go straight to the Supremes, and be all but assured of a. . . summary order list (no opinion) denial. Either way, the ultimate outcome is entirely free from doubt.

He… loses.

Agent Orange loses. Full stop.

Yes, Mr. Biden is the 46^th President-Elect.

Finally, and of at least slightly more substance, I’ve been meaning to link the full opinion in the Marland case, also out of Pennsylvania, now on appeal — it is the OTHER TikTok injunction against Agent Orange, and Wilbur Ross orders. We just haven’t covered it, as it largely duplicates the DC efforts — but both are in full force and effect, and prevent any action against TikTok. The old adage here applies: “Belts, suspenders… and then… staple your pants, to your hips [that is… always have a back up plan].”

Housekeeping note: later this afternoon, I’ll post an update on the space science front (a more joy-filled one, at that) — on the graceful, undulating deep purple and green “picket fence” structures… lately seen here up north, in auroras. Smile. Onward… ever, onward.
