Morning Docket: 06.06.23

* SEC says Binance engaged in "extensive web of deception." And if you can't trust people selling fake money, who can you trust? [Law360] * Coinbase must have thought it dodged a bullet after Binance, but it only took an extra day for the SEC to come around for them too. [Reuters] * Federal Circuit continues to sideline Judge Newman. [Bloomberg Law News] * The independent state legislature theory continues to lumber like a zombie toward the country. [New Yorker] * Florida lawmakers desperately trying to convince immigrants to stop leaving the state and that the tough anti-immigrant law was just for show. Maybe don't pass performative legislation? Just a thought. [New Republic] * Speaking of lawmaker grandstanding, a group of New York legislators have tried to horn in on the CUNY commencement speech news cycle. They denounced the speech for "paint[ing] America as a colonial imperialistic nation imprisoning innocent people." Guess they missed all the Central Park 5 headlines. [New York Law Journal]
