Others have said this but we need to have a strong social punishment for people who lie in patently obvious ways like this.

I mean there is a strong legal punishment already in the RPCs in whatever hell the lawyers who may ultimately have to investigate bar complaints against Sauer have been condemned to.

Yea it was con man speak, where it's a lie with a truth so he says "no you're wrong, you have it wrong, I'm right and have it right" and repeat until your group holds enough seats of power to allow it.

Here’s the part that Sauer highlighted, to make it look like contemporaries understood Wong Kim Ark to contain a domicile requirement. Note the “however“ at the beginning of the next sentence…

Too easy. He literally goes on to say that WKA follows the common law and the common law has no domicile requirement.

Never lie to an Article III judge, especially a Supreme Court Justice. They always find out, and they treat you only with derision if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, the punishment is worse.

Unfortunately, he will suffer zero professional consequences for this.

It would have been different if he was representing Biden, of course. Then he’d have been in real trouble.

Ironically, some of the current SCOTUS Justices routinely lie from the bench, in judicial opinions, and in interviews with mass media, and none of the Justices suffer any concrete consequences, except losing the respect of the few people paying attention.

Surprising the administration bothers to cite “woke” universities like Yale anyway ;)

Seems like a straightforward violation of ABA MRPC 3.3(a)(1) to me!

what is it--presumption of regularity(?)--that courts no longer assume for our DOJ? Lying to SCOTUS isn't a good solution.

So funny we have to treat any of this as legitimate discourse/scholarship when this entire project is driven by gutter racism and a related desire to keep certain people from voting
