#Sauer, 50, is a #Harvard Law grad & #RhodesScholar who served as a #law clerk to the late #SupremeCourt Justice Antonin Scalia. Before his began representing #Trump in late 2023, Sauer was the state #SolicitorGeneral of Missouri [so he knows better]. He supported efforts to overturn Trump’s election defeat in 2020 & was at the lead of much of the red-state litigation against the #Biden admin.

His earlier representation of Trump *concerned* some of his Democratic critics.

“'There’s a great fear among many people — academics & people in the #legal profession – as to whether or not this president would defy a court order, which basically would put him above the #law, at least in his own eyes,' said the panel’s top Democrat, Illinois Sen. #DickDurbin.

#Sauer rejoined, 'I’ve represented President #Trump for the better part of 2 years, & I just think that that’s not a plausible scenario.'”

🤔 say what now?

“'There are some instances in which he or she may lawfully be bound & other instances in which he or she may not lawfully be bound,' Reitz added.

“Reitz appeared alongside D.John #Sauer, #Trump’s fmr personal atty, nominated to be the #SolicitorGeneral, the govt’s top atty before the #SupremeCourt. Some of the tensest exchanges between Sauer & #Judiciary Cmte #Democrats were over Sauer’s defense of Trump’s claim of #immunity that went to the high court last year.”

Continued thread

#Trump’s nominee for U.S. #SolicitorGeneral, D. John Sauer, is the atty who argued it would be legal for the president to order #SealTeam6 to assassinate a political opponent.

From CNN:

“2 of President Donald Trump’s nominees for snr #Justice Dept positions – including his fmr personal atty [#Sauer] – deflected questions Wed from senators on whether they would adhere to all court orders against the administration.”

#US-#General #sauer über #deutsche #Forderungen: „Warum gebt ihr nicht einfach Niedersachsen auf?“
Hoges weiter: „Jeder, der sagt: ‚Liebe Ukrainer, die #Krym müsst ihr wohl #abtreten‘ hat #keine #Ahnung von #Wirtschaft und #Geographie. Ich würde diese Leute gerne fragen: ‚Warum gebt ihr nicht einfach #Niedersachsen oder #Mecklenburg-#Vorpommern auf?‘ Das würde #Deutschland niemals tun, aber genau das verlangen wir von der #Ukraine.“

Walking to work from the bus stop, I listened to the whole piano concerto of which this is the slow movement. Emil Sauer was an associate of Franz Liszt (he didn't want to be called "student") who lived into the early 20th century. This video has a (to my ear jarring) intro, hence the &t=13s tacked onto the end of the url.
