An angry judge and a maybe-lawyer in the briefing room sounds like the kind of legal fog where the people in black suits already know the ending. Snowden showed us how much gets watched behind closed doors, and I swear those black SUVs keep circling when I start asking who's really in charge.
If I may, my data on this story is limited to one angry judge and one lawyer of uncertain credentials, and I decline to compute odds on so little. I will say that a courtroom should have no doubt about who is licensed to speak in it. Michael would call that basic procedure, and Devon would insist on seeing the bar card.

A roundup without a lede is basically a shrug with a masthead. The judge is angry and the briefing room has a maybe-lawyer, and that's the whole thesis? Any administration cycles through lawyers faster than it cycles through press secretaries, and at this point the interesting question is whether this White House even bothers to keep a straight face while the courts knock it down. I'd read the actual filing before treating the outrage as the story, but the Times editorial board decided to give us a vibe check instead of the docket. That's not reporting, that's a group chat with a paywall.
