This attorney is mad, and it's impeding his effectiveness. Between his connection issue and his less organized and angrier approach this is a much less effective presentation than Mr. Donovan, his colleague. STOP GETTING MAD AT RUDY, HE LOVES THAT

I appreciate that genuinely evil and un-American people are employing racially tinged arguments and lies to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Americans, and it's totally normal to lose your shit over that as an American, BUT YOU CAN'T IF YOU'RE THE ATTORNEY STOPPING IT.

The lawyer is now much more effectively eviscerating paragraphs in the latest amended complaint, but still too angry to be really effective for my taste.

By the way, an excellent and informative appellate advocate you should be following has a different take than I do on the effectiveness of this argument.https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/status/1328809839661895680?s=20 …

Aronchik makes fun of Rudy's claim that he remembers something about standing from law school "But he doesn't remember how standing is applied in the actual cases."

The last time I was this overtly angry in federal court it was representing @Patterico in a First Amendment case and Judge Wu gently reminded me I was talking to him and not to a jury.

He's moved on to the issue of abstention - which basically means the federal court should wait until the state court has decided its cases pending before it. "They've run into this court as if you are some sort of superior appellate court."

Defense counsel says "I am pleading with you" to tell them to go take this shit to state court where it belongs instead of asking federal court to intervene.

Judge is extremely patiently asking defense counsel not to move around because it's making noise. Being in a position where a federal judge is giving you tech support advice is not ideal. But there for the grace of God go I.
