#NonCompeteAgreements are especially challenging in small industry sectors like #AI and for non-commodity #RubyLang jobs. While already unenforceable in some places, large companies that engage in #venueshopping made this a burdensome issue for many specialists.

Great to see progress being made on this!

The worst federal #judge in #America now has a name

Not simply for the poor quality of his #judicial reasoning…. What really distinguishes #Kacsmaryk is the loaded content of his rhetoric — not the language of a sober-minded, impartial jurist but of a #zealot, committed more to promoting a cause than applying the #law.

Texas judge suspends FDA approval of abortion pill; second judge protects access

The decision will probably be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, and the case could make its way to the Supreme Court.

The Washington Post

Texas' attorney general is trying to shut down the federal government.

' [Attorney General] Paxton’s broader litigation strategy [is to raise] weak legal arguments undercutting federal policies before right-wing judges that he has personally chosen because of their ideology. And these judges often do sow chaos throughout the government, which can last months or longer, before a higher court steps in. '

A Trump judge could shut down the federal government in Texas v. Garland

Ordinarily, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court. But you never can tell with Trump’s judges.
