The judges are clearly annoyed. The lawyer can't stop falling over his words and stuttering.

Came unprepared, like everyone else in this clown car of an administration.

who got stuck with a steaming turd of a case (they probably drew straws in his office and he got the short one) and can't come up with a decent argument because there aren't any. He's probably been at the job for awhile and might even be a perfectly competent lawyer. Getting a job with the U.S. attorney's office isn't easy and they are usually very capable. But this is a classic case of trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear (or Trump's scrotum), and there's just no way to do it.

but now the poor sod will have this stench following him for years. If I worked in that office and had been assigned that case I'd have called in sick or left the country.
