re: #163 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

On the one hand, his lawyers would be remiss if they did not pursue every legal avenue available. Because on its merits, the case against Trump is looking very solid.

While that’s true, and I would expect them to try novel legal arguments in a case that is the first of its kind (a former president being tried for what essentially amounts to seditious conspiracy, even though that is not one of the charges currently on the docket), there is a line between “novel legal arguments” and “stupid legal arguments.” Some of these are stupid legal arguments, and I hope the court calls them out as such. Note that the court likely won’t do anything to him or his lawyers over it, as courts generally give lawyers an opportunity to understand that they have made a grave mistake before the punishment starts.
