I don't understand how these absurd arguments aren't laughed out of court.
Who is John Sauer and why does anyone take this unfounded nonsense he's saying seriously?
Thats what is most concerning here: not so much the crazy reality that trump’s team is proposing, but the 5 conservative justices that are hand waving it off and are set to send it all back to the lower courts, giving trump the delay he needs.
They're being treated seriously because they're made by Republicans, who are part of the same patronage machine as the judges.
Trump's lawyer...?
