Federal Courts Move Against ‘Judge Shopping’
The move is aimed at reining in a growing practice of lawyers and interest groups — and even states — trying to guarantee that the lawsuits they file wind up in front of a judge they expect to be friendly to their arguments.
GOP plots a Biden non-impeachment
Behind the scenes, Republicans of all ideological persuasions are increasingly admitting that they pulled the trigger on Biden’s impeachment too soon and that the effort has been hobbled by embarrassing setbacks. They’ve accused the president of profiting off the Oval Office but have yet to find any proof that the president benefited from his family’s business dealings. And it doesn’t help their case that the informant behind the most prominent and scandalous accusations of corruption by Biden was found to have lied to the FBI about those allegations and has been indicted.
The GOP is also dealing with a brutal math problem. Republicans in swing districts continue to balk at taking an impeachment vote when they say there’s no proof of high crimes.

U.K. Moves to Bar Foreign State Ownership of Newspapers
An audacious effort by the American media executive Jeff Zucker and his Emirati backers to acquire London’s Daily Telegraph appeared to be on life support on Wednesday after the British government advanced legislation that would bar foreign state ownership of newspapers and newsmagazines.
The move by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would torpedo Mr. Zucker’s bid in its current form, which relies heavily on financing from investment partners in the United Arab Emirates.

I don’t know if it was the power of suggestion from the marketing/branding name. Perhaps they’re genetically modified? Either way, these grapes did have a taste a bit reminiscent of cotton candy.-- apt example of what I ordered versus what I got .
As for the Oscars, they seem to get it wrong every year. You would think something like this wouldn’t be so hard to get right. It's so pathetic leaving Treat Williams out of the memorian segment.
