What’s going to turn out differently this time?
Maybe Sessions will assign a more capable team to argue the case.
I’m hopeful that Trump has a long game here. Getting beat continually in court (even by a crooked judge) encourages more of the same.
The last time, the judges knowing the arguments were broadcast live found early they had someone who may have never argued before an appellate court before. It was obvious to even the non-legal members here that he basically gave it away. In that, the court, feeling its oats on a PR level, submitted its ruling based not of anything the law allowed and ventured into the same stupidity from which their nebulous questions emanated.
We will find out if Sessions is the right man for the job by whom is selected to argue the case for the Justice Department. I don’t know if it has to be a government attorney, but if not, I saw hire Jay Sekelow to be that point man this time who knows the issue inside and out and has the experience in litigating in such environments.
