It doesn't help a lawyer's side to be opaque or annoy the judges he needs to win over. Perhaps Sauer is more worried about something else than his impact on the judges (client reaction, public perception, etc something outside of court)

Rough day in court for Trump lawyer John Sauer -- admitting more than he had to on weak points for his side, and then dodged or refused to answer judges' questions when posed 3 to 4 times in a row.

New: Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, admits their legal position is that a President may murder American opponents without being prosecuted, unless Congress "impeaches and convicts" for it first.

The same people that suddenly care so much about plagiarism from 30 years ago at a school they don't attend for a degree they don't have had no problem w/ a former 1st lady plagiarizing her speech at the GOP convention in 2016

Reminder: Jewish law permits abortion and requires it when the life of the pregnant person is at risk. Laws limiting or restricting access to abortion violate our religious freedom.

Our country owes–OWES–a debt to the descendants of enslaved Black people, not just for slavery, but for what followed, like Black Codes, red lining, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration. That’s why I introduced my Reparations NOW resolution. This country has an obligation.

13 years ago, I had just been reelected to Congress when my life and community changed forever. Six people were killed, 12 others injured, and I was shot in the head at a Safeway in Tucson. Our community lost so much that day, but we came together and found hope in one another.

🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.

Wow. I never knew this. Paying rent with a salary drawn from a Black institution but agreeing not to let Black people in your house. Also, what a great example of how caste works. Can be a nonwhite immigrant, take advantage of CRM and have more rights than Black Americans.
@harrisonjaime Nikki Haley said Black guests weren't allowed in their home (her dad taught at an HBCU). It was a condition of the landlord. But now she claims she had Black friends growing up although she attended a segregated school. https://t.co/T7kMFhaaxe

Emmy award-winning actor Andre Braugher died from lung cancer, just months after being diagnosed. His death underscores the prevalence of lung cancer in Black men, who have the highest death rate of the disease in the U.S., pulmonologists say.

Pulmonolgists say Braugher's death at just 61 is a reminder "that really anybody with lungs can get lung cancer.”

Just want to take a moment to apologize for anything I've ever said or done or thought about saying or doing to Katt Williams or to anyone Katt has ever known and whatnot.

As kids were returning to school after break, a morning of reuniting with friends and teachers quickly turned to terror at Perry High School in Iowa. Let’s be clear: students shouldn’t have to worry about being shot at school.

Just a reminder that women are living their lives. They’re not “auditioning to be your wives”

I encourage all men, especially Black and Latino men, to go to their doctor and get their annual physical because it’s so important!
