Ed. Note: A weekly roundup of just a few items from Howard Bashman’s How Appealing blog, the Web’s first blog devoted to appellate litigation. Check out these stories and more at How Appealing.

“Supreme Court Cancels Arguments in Title 42 Immigration Case; The justices, who had been set to hear arguments on March 1, acted after the Biden administration filed a brief saying that the measure would soon be moot”: Adam Liptak of The New York Times has this report.

“Why Conservatives Are Losing Their Minds Over the Existence of Black Judges; The right-wing freakout over the qualifications of Black judges makes sense only if you view whiteness as an entitlement to power, and multiracial democracy as an existential threat”: Madiba K. Dennie has this post at Balls and Strikes.

“Pence says he will fight subpoena as far as Supreme Court”: Thomas Beaumont and Jill Colvin of The Associated Press have this report.

Congratulations to Rick Hasen on the 20th anniversary of his indispensable “Election Law Blog”: Rick notes the occasion this morning in a post titled “#ELB20th: 20 Years of the Election Law Blog, and 20 Years of American Democracy’s Slow (and Faster) Deterioration: A Call for Vigilance and Resilience.”

I am proud to know that the “How Appealing” blog helped to inspire the creation of both “SCOTUSblog” and the “Election Law Blog.” If those two things were all that my blog had ever accomplished, it would have been well worth the effort.
