* Dominion’s defamation trial against Fox delayed at the last moment, raising speculation that Fox may be trying to settle approximately a two years too late. [CNN]
* US News delays release of law school rankings following freak out from schools worried about what their own stupid boycott caused. [Reuters]

But who really believes in holding people to the explicit text of a statute, huh? [Huffington Post]
* Federal Circuit is investigating the fitness of one of its 95-year-old judges. Not that there’s really much they can do about it. [Bloomberg Law News]

Morning Docket: 04.06.23
