Morning Docket: 11.28.23

* Supreme Court hears challenge to nearly a century of SEC enforcement authority. As the Constitution doesn’t even mention "securities and exchange," we should go back to the economic glory days of the early 1930s. [Reuters] * Honestly can’t think of a more idiotic legal claim than suing the platforms where FTX ran ads. [Law.com] * State AGs suing Facebook say Zuckerberg rejected a ban on image filters “shown to be harmful to mental health.” Never mind that most research advocates against banning such filters. Ugh, do we have to defend Mark Zuckerberg here? [Law360] * Litigation finance? In my day we laundered our money through fine art purchases and we liked it! [Bloomberg Law News] * Why is Trump’s judiciary continuing its assault on Voting Rights Act after John Roberts already set an outer bound on the law? Because when you set a legal standard that amounts to one guy's whim, you don't have rule of law, you have a bunch of dingbats auditioning to replace that guy. [Vox] * John Eastman asks for a speedier trial in Georgia in a clumsy bid to give Trump a sneak peek at the evidence. [Newsweek]
