Jonathan Mitchell, one of Trump's attorneys, is currently trying to argue the whole "president isn't an officer" garbage.
Edit: Mitchell is giving a master class on how to split inconsequential hairs.
Edit 2: Kavanaugh and Gorsuch have been asking some surprisingly good (and pointed) questions of Mitchell that make me wonder what their actual positions will ultimately be.
Edit 3: KJB picking at Trump's legal team's arguments pretty effectively.
Edit 4: Trump's team is done for now. Now the real lawyers are up.
Edit 5: Thomas asking for examples of national candidates being disqualified at the state level.
Edit 6: Thomas is such a gas bag when he deigns to speak.
Edit 7: Roberts clearly signals that he wants to punt this to Congress.
Edit 8: Multiple justices questioning whether this is a state-level decision.
Edit 9: Roberts bringing up the possibility of retaliatory attempts to remove candidates if Trump is removed. Seems awfully specious, but it's more signaling that he really doesn't want to make a decision on this.
Edit 10: Conservatives on the court spent the last five minutes or so arguing from a position that if Trump is held to be an insurrectionist, anyone can be held to be an insurrectionist.
Edit 11: Honestly, I think Jason Murray (lawyer for Colorado) is doing an absolutely phenomenal job with some extremely hostile - and ridiculous - questioning.
Final edit: That's it for live-blogging this, I have shit to do. But applause for Murray, he's rocked it.
