.@jadler1969 Is it inappropriate for the President to comment on the case while it is pending? (Serious question).

@rickhasen I think there are good reasons Presidents have tended to refrain after arguments submitted -
.
@jadler1969 I'd have to ponder more, but I think it is okay for anyone, including Pres. and Congress, to weigh in on pending SCOTUS case -
@rickhasen so would have been OK for Bush to give speeches decrying threat to natl security of adverse ruling pre-decision? -
.
@jadler1969 .@jadler1969 Yes I think it would have been fine for Bush to weigh in while case pending. SCOTUS Justices are grown-ups -
@rickhasen and appearance of attempt to pressure court not a problem? Was FDR handling of Quirin appropriate too? -
.
@jadler1969 As I said, Justices are grown ups and a co-equal branch of government. Attempts to pressure can backfire.
