Dominion Voting Systems' presentation has revealed an email sent by Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott to the company's chairman, Rupert Murdoch, warning of the financial fallout if the network continued to fact-check Donald Trump's lies after the 2020 election. The presentation is part of Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, and Fox has responded by saying they will "vigorously defend" themselves against the "baseless claims." Murdoch had said Trump's claims were "pretty much a crime," and Scott had said the documents "demonstrate Dominion's continued reliance on cherry-picked quotes without context."

The Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal from the city of Ocala, Florida, concerning a prayer vigil held in response to a local shooting spree. The vigil was challenged by individuals who argued it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented from the decision, suggesting the court should take up a similar case in the future. The case highlights the difficulty of determining when a government action crosses the line into unconstitutional territory, and leaves the door open for similar cases to be heard in the future.
