Husband, father, antitrust lawyer. Not necessarily in that order.
@kenwhite.bsky.social, why isn't Bovino an accessory after the fact? MN 2025 Code 609.495(1)(a) ("Whoever . . . conceals, aids, or assists by word or acts another whom the actor knows or has reason to know has committed a crime . . .)

I'm proud to have represented the transgender plaintiffs in this case along with a great team at @lambdalegal.org, and grateful that the court has ordered the State Department to issue passports with accurate sex markers as required by the Equal Protection Clause.

She is the single mother of a 7-year-old daughter who needs to be picked up at camp, which she is doing and then returning to the District. I think she's capable of multi-tasking for 1 day.

And I looked at your other paper. “Oncology” etc. is not an antitrust market. And looking at clinical trials means looking at products generally without revenue and thus not subject to Section 8 anyway. Even with revenue the 2% or 4% de minimis thresholds likely apply.

I looked at n.101 of the paper, which says competitors are identified with a “proprietary methodology” by Pitchbook.

I'm skeptical of the accuracy of the definition of competitor. It seems unlikely that 30% of pharma and biotech companies have interlocks in markets that are properly defined (i.e not "pharmaceuticals"). With 2500 companies in the sample, most are going to have only a handful of products.

Filed our motion for PI challenging the State Department's rules for gender markers on passports. This might be my favorite footnote ever.

Proud to have signed the complaint on this.
Trans people deserve accurate + affirming passports!
On Friday, we filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump admin’s policy denying trans people U.S. passports with accurate gender markers.
Repost & let people know that affirming identity documents matter! 🏳️⚧️

@kenwhite.bsky.social, is it good when a federal judge calls your arguments “bad faith,” “specious,” “arbitrarily cramped,” a “deliberate evasion of their fundamental discovery obligations,” and “willful and intentional noncompliance”?

The opening paragraph:“The Order is an unconstitutional abomination and it should only continue to exist in Continuing Legal Education materials to teach lawyers and judges precisely what not to do – ever – when it comes to the issuance of preliminary relief against speech.”
Wow. Just wow.

Kudos to the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is the largest law firm that is not either itself target by Trump or representing a firm targeted by Trump to sign the amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Put another way, A&P has no direct financial interest in the outcome of the case and yet signed.
