This 1 min clip has my take. Not a mixed bag. Serious loss for Trump. Ct (incl his own appointees) rejected his immunity args as made up. Even Cong looks like will get lots. NY case can be expedited&decided before election. Regardless, will come out after election.Scary for Trump
If courts can decide a Presidential election start to finish in 36 days, &decide the Nixon tapes subpoena case start to finish in under 4 months,it's easy for courts to decide the New York case, particularly since the SCOTUS opinion today leaves Trump with very little left to say
And the public interest is overwhelming. I can't imagine a greater case for expediting a matter than we want to avoid a circumstance where this potentially criminal info comes out after the election.

BREAKING NEWS: A federal court has just upheld our challenge to Trump's asylum restrictions, decision by Judge Kelly of DC District Court. More to follow. Huge congrats to associate Mitch Reich and others who worked so hard on this case. More to follow
"There are many circumstances in which the law appropriately commands, as in [the Supreme Ct Holder case], that courts defer to the Executive Branch’s national security judgments. But ...the record in that case consisted of far more than a newspaper article."
This decision invalidates Trump's "asylum ban" at the Southern border.

The decision by Judge Kelly, who President Trump appointed to the bench in 2017, goes into effect immediately.

Look at DOJ's brief filed yesterday, asking SCOTUS to gut the entire Affordable Care Act. Now look at the 2 prior DOJ Affordable Care Act briefs filed by the same Office, during Obama. The longtime career Deputy Solicitor General Ed Kneedler, is *missing* from Trump's. 1/2
Kneedler is the most experienced Supreme Ct advocate alive, having argued close to 150 cases. He is as nonpolitical as anyone anywhere & is considered the conscience of that Office. I certainly have never worked with someone finer (and he gave me a tough time lots). Where is he?
While I'm at it, also note that no other agencies (like Health and Human Services) signed this brief, again, unlike the 2 prior briefs. Embarrassing.
