I’m Not Saying They Were Wrong

But I really wonder why DOJ didn’t take Steve Vladeck’s  analysis more seriously. His argument was that, with conflicting opinions, the Supremes had jurisdiction and DOJ could use that to bypass the 5th Circuit; which surprised no one in how they ruled. Professor Vladeck’s advice might have led to the same end, or even lengthened the matter if the court peremptorily returned the case to the circuit court. Obviously we’ll never know. But oh, to be a fly on the wall during the discussion of the legal strategy.
