@BBenedict33 Well, he did get an entire @WSJ profile two weeks ago, focused on his success in advocating for his clients before the administration.

Is that all Mike Davis is known for? Anything else he's been in the news over lately?

10 contenders to succeed @AGPamBondi as attorney general, from @mrddmia (who is very well-connected in Trumpworld and has Trump's ear on legal matters).

🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸@mrddmia
Pam Bondi did a phenomenal job. She won more Supreme Court victories on the biggest cases than any Attorney General before her. That's her legacy. There is no shortage of fighters ready to serve as the next Attorney General: Todd Blanche Harmeet Dhillon Judge Jeanine Pirro Lee Zeldin Andrew Ferguson Mark Paoletta Christopher Landau Sen. Eric Schmitt Sen. Mike Lee Gov. Ron DeSantis Ten names. Deep bench. We charge forward.

5 Observations On The Supreme Court Argument In The Birthright Citizenship Case
The Trump v. Barbara oral argument went better for the administration than I expected—but Trump will probably still lose before #SCOTUS.

@mauRICEfrediere I do think there is a difference between being wrong and lying. I feel bad about being wrong (which is why I have mentioned the correction a million times and deleted the original tweet). I wasn't lying.

Please see the multiple updates to my earlier thread re: seating for #POTUS at #SCOTUS.
There appears to be some lack of clarity about where Donald Trump might sit at this morning's argument—but we will know soon enough!

@EWess92 @NationalMallNPS @whignewtons @SCOTUSblog @nytimes 12/ I deleted the tweet at the top of this thread because I don't want it retweeted if it's incorrect.
As noted later in this thread, various sources have reported that Trump is sitting in the public gallery at #SCOTUS (citing a Supreme Court spokesperson).

@EWess92 @NationalMallNPS @whignewtons @SCOTUSblog 11/ "A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court says Trump is now seated in the public gallery of the courtroom," per @NYTimes.

@mauRICEfrediere The special seat is not in the public gallery, but in the "officers of the Court" section.
English
@mauRICEfrediere I think that was incorrect (see my latest tweets, including but not limited to this one):

In other #SCOTUS news, happy birthday to Justice Alito, who turns 76 today.
Might Justice Alito retire this year? I previously predicted that he would not (but I don't have high confidence in that call).

Trump is in the house at One First Street aka #SCOTUS (with 10-15 minutes until the start of the session).
The Associated Press@AP
Trump has arrived at the Supreme Court to sit in on birthright citizenship arguments, the first such appearance by a president. Follow live updates. apnews.com/live/supreme-c…

@EWess92 @NationalMallNPS @whignewtons @SCOTUSblog 10/ As someone who has a tendency to nod off while seated, I wouldn't mind being forced to stand for something like this; it would keep me awake!
English
@EWess92 @NationalMallNPS @whignewtons @SCOTUSblog 9/ But it's not clear because, as far as I know, no president has ever attended a Supreme Court oral argument (at least not since the current #SCOTUS building opened).
We shall know soon enough where #POTUS ends up sitting. I trust he won't end up standing!
English
@haplar @EWess92 @NationalMallNPS I added a few tweets to my original thread. It's possible that this "officers of the Court" section is what's informally seen as the clerks' section, so maybe Trump will get seated there (whether or not he has a specific seat).

@DavidLat @EWess92 @NationalMallNPS I haven't been willing to hang my hat on half of one sentence from 40 years ago so very curious if the result of this mini-experiment ends with a literal special chair.
