[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These CO lawyers are not as good at Trump's, right or is that my imagination?[/quote]
I hate Trump and I think his lawyer seemed to be doing a better job than the lawyer for the Colorado voters, but consider that the audience was friendlier to him than they were to Murray.[/quote]

I think being harsher on the Colorado attorney makes more sense here.  Colorado took a very aggressive step that unquestionably implicsted a national election.  If this were about a representative from Colorado, the dynamic would be different (such as Trump seek to be a rep from Colorado).  But this is about who will be president of the entire country.  Kagan nailed it.  I don’t think the attorneys answer to her question was good because he essentially admitted Colorado is fine with this having a national impact because they knew it would go up to the Supreme Court.  Essentially admitting that they created a controversy over federal law but then claiming it’s a states rights issue.  [b]I think that was the moment he lost.[/b]  [/quote]

Not at all. The moment he lost was when Mitch McConnell declined to give Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court a hearing, engineering the elevation of Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. It would be foolish of you to presume that any argument at all would have won the day in the face of the Supreme Court as currently composed. [/quote]
