"I don't think you speak for your client anymore," a federal judge to the Department of Justice, referring to the President of the United States, by analogy.





"The tweet this morning was the first I had heard of the President's position on this issue, just like the plaintiffs and Your Honor."

- A gobsmacked DOJ attorney, adding he's doing his "absolute best to figure out what's going on."

This transcript is startling.

3. Read more carefully. Judge makes clear the United States is the client, and

if the US were a corporation like Facebook, he would make the CEO come to court and tell the judge what the corporation plans to do because the lawyer obviously doesn't know.
