I mean, they would still have the chief, but I just mean you would have a full majority of the court that was appointed within a short period of time. And so it could continue collectively to kind of control the court for some significant period of time. Which would be good for some people, bad for others.

prompt some complicated questions for the court wants to handle it there's more to say about that let's come back to that in a second but just to close the thought yeah i think john sauer has been named as the next sg i mean it has to be you know formally nominated and confirmed and so forth but a missourian right a missourian he was the sg of missouri he's a former clerk for justice glia and he argued the trump successfully argued the trump immunity case

So he's certainly a very smart, capable, competent lawyer. He may be someone that Trump perceives as more loyal than some of the folks the last time around. It does seem like this new round of executive branch appointments looks to be more focused on people that are perceived as solidly Trumpian people. Have you been vetted for much in this position?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, you've been pretty loyal, right? I mean, you had that whole thing about saying he was ineligible to be president, but who still remembers that?

I thought only Congress was allowed to determine whether the president was ineligible.

All right. Hard to see it. Well, I'll let you know what happens if they call me. Because, I mean, I'm the guy who gets invited to the Federalist Society conventions now, apparently. Although I guess Trump people don't actually even like the Fed Soc. They're too principled, too committed to the rule of law.

ACS does not strike me as the most active organization. I mean, I got invited to one Zoom panel for ACS in the last couple of years. So I don't know. I've never been invited to speak at their national convention.

Okay, but does Circle, yeah, anything else to say about election implications? Okay. To circle back to Scrimetti, case with a few too many consonants in a row. Yeah, that one, I mean, it seems clear, I mean, all but certain the Trump administration will change position on day one, right?

Or however many days it takes to get its staff kind of operational, appointing someone to be the acting SG and so forth. Yeah. I guess there's some possibility that some of the plaintiffs whose petition wasn't granted, their petition could get granted and they could come in.

So what the alternative is to formally say, you know, we move to have our petition be dismissed or something like that?

And if you're the Trump administration, it also looks like you're going to win. Right. I mean, it does, based on the argument, it did seem like there were going to be, you know, at least five votes to uphold the state law, limiting, banning this kind of gender affirming care. Justice Gorsuch, strangely silent at the argument.
