That was even more insane IMHO than this case. There are some gray areas here that he can point to, while the immunity claim he made up out of whole cloth as did the SC with their ruling and the written majority opinion. I subscribe to a podcast called Oral Arguments which I listen to for most of their cases, that immunity one was a real whopper. This one isn’t as wild but yeah Sauer is reaching and trying to muddy the water with much of his arguments.
