What are the standards for attorney conduct in New York? This pair of NY bar members charged with throwing Molotov cocktails at an NYPD van, facing life in prison for arson, conspiracy, and use of explosives, are in good standing with the bar:

Dozens of Republican Senators demanded that Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration reverse course on a proposed ATF rule that would “turn millions of law-abiding Americans into criminals overnight” and would represent “the largest executive branch-imposed gun registration and confiscation scheme in American history.”
The senators warned in a letter that the move by the Biden administration would force millions of Americans to have to either pay a $200 tax on pistols that feature a stabilizing brace, spend even more money converting the pistol into a rifle, destroy the weapon, or turn the weapon over to the Biden administration.
The Reload reports:
They warned the reclassification would mean owners who don’t register their guns would face felony charges and up to 10 years in federal prison per gun. … The letter comes as negative public comments have flooded in on the proposal. Americans have already submitted over 100,000 comments and dozens of the comments reviewed by The Reload showed universal opposition to the proposal. If the proposal receives enough opposition, it could be pulled like other rule-change proposals in the past, including a similar pistol brace ban proposed last year and an Obama Administration attempt to ban a type of ammunition commonly used in AR-15s.
However, President Joe Biden doubled down on the brace ban Wednesday in his newly announced strategy to combat the rise in violent crime. The ATF cited just two crimes committed with braced pistols—mass shootings in Ohio and Colorado—in the proposal but did not explain whether the brace contributed to those crimes. The Republican senators said the proposal would do nothing to reduce the recent murder spike.
“To one unfamiliar with stabilizing braces, ATF’s proposed rule and the accompanying regulatory analysis suggest that these braces are dangerous alterations to firearms designed to help criminals evade federal law,” the senators said. “Nothing could be further from the truth, and ATF knows that. After all, it has repeatedly blessed their design, manufacture, sale, and use.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently won a preliminary injunction against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for mandating "vaccine passports" for the cruise ship industry. That's according to Associated Press (AP).
The CDC stopped cruise ships from sailing in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
On October 30 of last year, the CDC reportedly issued a four-phase conditional framework to allow cruise ships to set sail. The framework is said to include mandated Covid-19 vaccines for all passengers and employees.
Governor DeSantis argued the framework imposed onerous bureaucratic requirements on the industry.
The court reportedly agreed that CDC’s conditional sailing order exceeded the CDC's authority.
The court's decision means CDC cannot enforce the framework for Florida-based ships; they would merely be considered non-binding recommendations or guidelines, according to AP.
Today’s ruling is a victory for the hardworking Floridians whose livelihoods depend on the cruise industry. The federal government does not, nor should it ever, have the authority to single out and lockdown an entire industry indefinitely. I am excited to see the cruise industry get sailing again, and proud to stand with Governor Ron DeSantis against illegal federal overreach and draconian lockdown measures.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody
