OMG!! HAHAHA… I *JUST* received the transcript of the hearing in the ballroom case; I’ll be writing it up later today (Notes from the Front members, you’ll recall it’s the one that I paid a bit over $300 so we could have it – these documents are *not* free to the public, and *not* cheap!), and you are going to LOVE it! Here’s a snippet that I wanted to share (Mr. Roth is one of the administration attorneys):
THE COURT: And your best effort to demonstrate to this Court that the Congress intended this to be used for a purpose of this size and proportion on an icon that’s a national institution is what? Is what?
MR. ROTH: Well, Your Honor, I think that I would point to the OLC opinion. Obviously, a pool is different.
THE COURT: The ’77 —
MR. ROTH: Yeah.
THE COURT: The Gerald Ford swimming pool? You
compare that to ripping down the East Wing and building a new East Wing? Come on.
MR. ROTH: I’m not comparing —
THE COURT: Be serious.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 😂

A lot of unusual ‘comparing’ going on with the boys inside this WH.

Love the smackdowns. Now is there a chance that the ballroom does not get to go forward?? AND what are the chances that he has to rebuild the East Wing without the ballroom and at his own expense?? cause I really would love to see that.

These are not serious people.

It is my absolute favorite thing in court when the judge calls out an attorney’s buffoonery (it’s never happened to my team, lol).

“Be serious.”
That’s what we’ve been asking from this administration this whole time!

That snippet leads me to think the government may have been verbally eviscerated.
