Considering the current SC, I'm pretty sure this is a big mistake.

It's our best chance at the moment. Because the court is only going to go more right for the rest of our lifetimes.

If this is our best chance for the court, then our best chance doesn't come from courts.

Accurate. But I'll take any win & chance. And Chase isn't acting like it's a waste of effort.

from 2018:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts clashed Wednesday in an extraordinary public dispute over the independence of America’s judiciary, with Roberts bluntly rebuking the president for denouncing a judge who rejected his migrant asylum policy as an "Obama judge."

"We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them," Roberts said.

He and Trump were apparently play fighting.

Absolute badass and the personal experience will definitely help with the argument. I wonder how the supreme court is going to try to only focus the bans to affect transgender people and not just cis people
