Enjoy! I'm going to sleep. I won't even ask why golf is on in the middle of the night. I gather the tournament is halfway round the world.

A note on Maxwell's case: The same argument was rejected by the appeals court; they weren't even willing to order a hearing by all the court's justices. So if I were Maxwell, I wouldn't have high hopes.

And no matter what happens, the argument is technical. Maxwell says the original non prosecution agreement (NPA) should apply to all circuits, not just a few. That is, it should apply to the SDNY, where she was found guilty. And that is what this is about: whether she should ever have been tried in New York. She argues that the NPA should have been valid there, which would have barred her prosecution. If her argument is found good enough, then SCOTUS will schedule a hearing, probably in the fall, and oral arguments will be presented by all the parties. They do not have a lot of time to do that. Once the hearing is over, the justices will grant cert or not.

What they won't do is ask anyone to come up with the "Epstein List", or Epstein's files, or anything having to do with what any of the parties to the case did or didn't do.
