[EX Q]: The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.

[EX Q]: Blake Griffin âs injury Monday night serves as the end of an era for the Clippers â one that was good  but not as good as it couldâve been. (Jae C. Hong/AP)
As  Blake Griffin  limped off the court at Staples Center on Monday night  the best era in Los Angeles Clippers history left with  him .
Some of the faces remain â at least for now. Doc Rivers is still the coach  and DeAndre Jordan is the starting center.  Griffin   meanwhile  is in the first year of a five-year max contract  and the MCL sprain  he  suffered Monday night when Austin Rivers fell into  his  leg will only keep  him  out of the lineup for a couple of months  as opposed to the rest of the season.
The writing on the wall for this run ended when Paul left for Houston this summer  as Redick followed him out the door to Philadelphia shortly thereafter. Even though the Clippers did well in getting a nice haul for Paul â Patrick Beverley  Sam Dekker  Montrezl Harrell and a 2018 first-round pick â while keeping  Griffin  and signing Danilo Gallinari and Milos Teodosic in free agency  it felt like a roster that didnât fit together. It was also heavily reliant on several players with significant injury questions in  Griffin   Beverley  Gallinari and Teodosic.
Now all four of them are on the shelf â Beverley for the season following knee surgery  Griffin for the next two months  Teodosic for at least another month and Gallinari for at least another week. Whatâs also on the shelf is any hope of these Clippers making the playoffs  as it seems impossible theyâll be able to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot until  Griffin  comes back.
Rivers has been rumored in NBA circles to be on the verge of losing his job for weeks as the Clippers have floundered to start the season (and after he was demoted from running the basketball operations department this summer)  and those rumors will only intensify if the Clippers fall even further with  Griffin  sidelined. Meanwhile  Jordanâs name is coming up in trade conversations  though it could be difficult to find a landing spot that returns any kind of real value â at least without taking on bad deals for more years than Jordanâs expiring contract. Lou Williams  a talented scorer on an expiring deal  also feels like a piece that could be moved to a contender to bring some kind of assets back  and while moving on from Gallinari would be wise  his price tag (two more years at more than $20 million per) and injury history will make doing so difficult.
The Clippers have transformed from a laughingstock to a contender over the past several years  a once unthinkable change for a franchise that was defined for so long by dysfunction and embarrassment. Monday  though  that run officially came to an end when Blake Griffin trudged off the floor at Staples Center and into the locker room  leaving a trail of what-ifs about the past and uncertainties about the future.

[EX Q]: SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - One of the most dramatic moments in an upcoming trade secrets trial between Alphabet Incâs Waymo and Uber will likely come when the former chief of Uberâs self-driving car unit takes the witness stand  as he is expected to repeatedly refuse to answer questions.
 Waymo  sued Uber Technologies Inc last year  claiming that  former Waymo engineer Anthony Levandowski  downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
 Levandowski   regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  is not a defendant in the case but is on  Waymo âs witness list.  Waymo  has accused Uber of benefiting from  Waymo  technology that  it  says Uber acquired through  Levandowski . Uber has denied Waymoâs allegations and has argued that the data in the files were not trade secrets.
During a pretrial deposition in April  Waymo lawyers questioned Levandowski for hours about allegations that he took Waymoâs trade secrets. He declined to answer any questions about his time at both companies  citing constitutional protections against self-incrimination over 300 times  according to a deposition transcript. Levandowski has never publicly addressed the allegations of taking the documents and law enforcement has not charged anyone with their theft.
Uber  Waymo and Miles Ehrlich  an attorney for Levandowski  declined to comment.
Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law  said Levandowski refusing to answer questions on the stand  and the judgeâs instructions around it  would hurt Uberâs case because it would reinforce  Waymoâs  arguments that  he  was deceptive and took their information.
To counter  Levandowskiâs  expected refusal to answer questions  Rowe said Uber should tell jurors in opening statements that the companyâs actions and those of Levandowski are separate  stressing that Uber fired the engineer last May.
Alsup granted Waymoâs request for a pretrial injunction in May  prohibiting Levandowski from working on Lidar  a sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
If  Waymo  persuades a jury that Uber stole  its  trade secrets  it said it would seek a permanent injunction to prohibit Uber from using them in the future.
Other tech executives who could testify at trial include former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick  Benchmark venture capitalist Bill Gurley  and Waymo CEO John Krafcik  court documents showed.
