3 things are clear:
(1) nobody is inclined to grant absolute immunity, BUT
(2) the conservatives are not happy with the black-and-white DC circuit ruling against Trump, WHICH MEANS
(3) the ruling *won't* come quickly and will likely call for further proceedings in lower courts

Ain’t never seen this before. Glossip comes back to SCOTUS with the State of Oklahoma arguing that it doesn’t want to execute Glossip on the basis of a flawed conviction but its own courts are trying to force it to.

BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes.
This is a game changer for American workers.
