Morning Docket: 12.23.22

* January 6th Committee released its final report last night. Enjoy some light 800+ page reading! [NPR] * A law firm paid off the total school lunch balance at a local junior high,  which is both a nice gesture and a horrifying reminder that this country routinely runs junior high kids into debt. [KSL] * A deep dive into the world of election conspiracy lawyer Stefanie Lambert (no stranger to these pages) as she faces possible disbarment. [Reuters] * Conservatives LOVE the Western District of Louisiana and while it might be the gumbo, it's probably the deeply right-wing judge roster with the power to halt national policies. Which brings us too... [ABA Journal] * ... Rep. Mondaire Jones introducing the Injunction Reform Act to limit the power of federal judges to issue national injunctions to the D.C. District and Circuit and Supreme Court. [Huffington Post] * Andrew Cuomo spent years empowering conservatives on NY's high court with disastrous results for NY Democrats. Having learned exactly nothing from the experience, Kathy Hochul wants to give that same strategy a whirl! [Slate]
