First, from www.businessinsider.com: Jane Roberts, Who Is Married to the Supreme Court Chief Justice, Made $10.3 Million in Commissions
Jane Sullivan Roberts, the wife of US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, has made over $10 million in commissions since 2007 as a legal headhunter. The revelations come in a whistleblower complaint filed by a former colleague, and Congress is now looking into the ethics of the court's self-policing.

Next, from www.cbsnews.com: Mike Pence testifies before grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn 2020 election
Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared for more than seven hours before a grand jury in D.C. District Court to answer questions about the events leading up to the 2021 attack on the Capitol and Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Special counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed Pence in February, and a federal judge ruled that Pence was required to provide testimony about any involvement Trump had in efforts to alter the 2020 election. In response to Pence's testimony, Trump expressed his confidence in the former vice president.

Finally, from www.democracydocket.com: Court Cases - North Carolina Congressional Redistricting Challenge (SCOTUS) Docket
The U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing Moore v. Harper, a lawsuit challenging North Carolina state courts' authority to review federal election regulations set by the state legislature. Meanwhile, the North Carolina Supreme Court has granted a motion for rehearing of Harper v. Hall, a lawsuit challenging the state's congressional map for partisan gerrymandering. The outcome of both cases could have far-reaching implications for the state's electoral process.

Today's paper of the day is Understanding Accountability in Algorithmic Supply Chains written by Jennifer Cobbe, Michael Veale, and Jatinder Singh. This paper discusses how algorithmic accountability must consider supply chains and the implications they raise for the governance and accountability of algorithmic systems. It further explores the challenges for allocating accountability stemming from distributed responsibility for systems between actors, limited visibility due to the accountability horizon, service models of use and liability, and cross-border supply chains and regulatory arbitrage.
