But... SCOTUS advocates have to preserve their ability to argue another day, and blowing up the justices in one case
A: Doesn't help them actually win the case.
B: Actively hurts them in the next one.

Kavanaugh: 'Like Justice Gorsuch, I'm not concerned with the here and now of this case, I'm concerned about the future.'

I don't know why this is acceptable. I do know that the justices are sure they are right about ignoring the facts of THIS ACTUAL CASE.

Kavanaugh... who WORKED FOR KEN STARR... is basically saying that Jack Smith is politically motivated and his appoint in unconstitutional.

It's... maddening. And most of the media reports will not even point out this hypocrisy.

The 'independent counsel' law was rewritten into our current 'special counsel' law BECAUSE of the shit Kavanaugh helped Starr do! Everybody was like 'that crap can't happen again.'

Somebody get Neal Katyal and Monica Lewinsky (she/her) on the phone to blow up this asshole.

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) Every time I try to no have a stroke listening to this bullshit, they say something even more risible and stupid.

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) Kavanaugh: 'President Ford's pardon. Hugely unpopular when he did it... now probably looked on as one of his better decisions.'

What? WHAT? WHO THE FUCK THINKS FORD'S PARDON OF NIXON WAS A GOOD IDEA? WHEN DID I DIE AND GO TO HELL????

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) This could be a men v. women 5-4 ruling.

Men: Let's kick this back to DC to further delay Trump's trial.
Soto, Kagan, Jackson: Why? That's fucking dumb.
Barrett: Ladies, I agree with you, but we shouldn't call the men fucking dumb. We should politely disagree.

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) We're past the two and half hour mark for an argument where the Republican justices made their decision when they were appointed, some of them decades ago.

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) KBJ is closing by trying to answer all of Gorsuch's questions, which would be effective if Gorsuch operated in good faith. But... he doesn't. So...

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) I had hoped that *one* of the liberal justices would have made the point from the Common Cause brief, highlighting that the whole point of what Republican justices are doing is to give Trump delay.

Not a persuasive argument for the justices, but good for the media to hear.

Neal Katyal Monica Lewinsky (she/her) The case is submitted. Court doesn't come back till May 9th which will be a decision day.

But I think they won't decide *this* case until July 3rd for max delay. And that decision will be 5-4 to remand the case back to DC, for additional delay.
