My mother is a court reporter (stenographer) for a federal judge in the 5th Circuit. These cases are considered sensationalism & fodder for lunchtime laughter. That would be why the MSM didn’t take them seriously - because the legal community didn’t.
These tears are not from laughter.
I guess the legal community think pissing on the Constitution is fun and fodder for lunchtime laughter.
But if the entire legal community feels that way, why did any of the SCOTUS justice even bring any cases to the conference? Seems they would have been denied that even.
Actually DC took them very seriously. These cases are a source of worry. There were several threads about it. The MSM didn’t cover them because Obama is their guy just as Clinton was.
