Yes.

They did.

They did not go well at all for the challengers to Donald Trump, and that's to put it mildly.

I've seen hundreds of oral arguments at the Supreme Court.

You often can't tell where the justices are leaning.

This one you could.

And for good reason, I mean, when you're doing a Supreme Court

argument, your job's not only to answer the justices

questions, but to state the affirmative case for why you

should win.

These lawyers never did that.

They made this case on technical and like a gotcha in the Constitution instead of on you know basic making the basic

point but this is a centerpiece of our Constitution forged after the Civil War

after all that bloodshed for a simple reason are founders coming

together and saying no more insurrectionists it's too dangerous to have people who

give aid and comfort to the enemy and there was just such a little discussion of that and instead it was all on the

other side like the interchanges Alicia you were showing about 50 states and you know

we should only like one state shouldn't be able to decide the whole there were five great answers to that

They're all in the front of the court briefs but we heard none of it and so it was a really dismal showing unfortunately for the challengers to Donald Trump.

Yeah, Katie, for those who remember what happened in 2016 involving former Secretary

State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee at the time for

president.
