I share your observation that it is not going well for Sauer and the regime.

The questions coming from Sotomayor are particularly pointed and unraveling. Kagan and Jackson are also offering strong questions.

There has been some interesting interaction. Coney-Barrett asked a question and he started rambling on without actually addressing the question, and Sotomayor interjected - sir, please answer Justice Barrett's question.

Coney-Barrett seems to be pushing back against the premises and law being applied by Sauer. I even here some skepticism in the questions from Roberts and Cavanaugh.

I will be interested to hear how the court interacts in the arguments from the "other side" (plaintiffs).

I look forward to the analysis from the legal experts at MSNBC to see if they agree with you and me that things don't look like a "shoe-in" for the regime.

P.S. Sauer is difficult to listen to.
