Trump Crashes Out At Supreme Court – See Generally – Above the Law

Born
Loser:

Donald
Trump
took
the
unprecedented
step
of
sitting
in
as
the
Supreme
Court
heard
oral
argument
on
the
challenge
to
the
administration’s
executive
order
purporting
to
end
birthright
citizenship.
He
bailed
long
before
the
argument
ended
once
even
he
could
see
his
case
was
totally
cooked.

You
Can’t
Fix
Stupid,
But
You
Can
Quote-Tweet
It:

Justice
Jackson
asked
a
hypothetical
about
stealing
a
wallet
in
Japan
to
—
a
hypothetical
to
explore
the
various
meanings
of
being
subject
to
jurisdiction
—
and
kicked
a
hornets’
nest
of
social
media
racists
questioning
her
legal
credentials
from
their
mom’s
basement.

Check
Your
Cites:

In
its
attempt
to
rewrite
birthright
citizenship,
the
administration
cited
Confederate
officer
and
segregation
advocate
Alexander
Porter
Morse
as
an
authority
—
a
reminder
that
not
every
supporting
citation
is
a
good
idea.

Contempt
Of
Court,
IT
Edition:

A
Texas
judge
threw
an
IT
worker
out
of
his
courtroom
for
the
crime
of
diagnosing
a
non-existent
audio
problem.
And
then
somehow
the
story

kept
getting
crazier.

Clerk
And
Awe:

Susman
Godfrey
bumped
its
federal
clerkship
signing
bonus
to
$180,000,
with
$200K
for
multiple
clerkships,
joining
Hueston
Hennigan
at
the
top
of
the
market
and
making
the
rest
of
Biglaw’s
offers
look
like
a
participation
trophy.

Bye
Bye
Bondi:

Trump
canned
his
Attorney
General,
describing
her
next
move
as
“transitioning
to
a
much
needed
and
important
new
job
in
the
private
sector”
—
which
is
somehow
even
more
brutal
than
the
Kristi
Noem
treatment,
where
at
least
Trump
bothered
to
invent
a
fake
new
government
position.

Portrait
Of
A
Lady
In
A
Dumpster
Fire:

Bondi’s
official
portrait
was
almost
immediately
spotted
in
the
garbage
at
DOJ.

Will
The
Real
Bloated
Shady
Please
Stand
Up:

Trump’s
legal
team
argued
in
the
January
6
civil
case
that,
if
you
think
about
it,
the
president
is
basically
like
a
rapper
whose
concert
gets
out
of
hand
—
and
Judge
Mehta
methodically
dismantled
the
analogy.
