Trump's lawyer to a federal judge just now: "It's been a long time since my civil procedure class."

The judge asks why, if Trump's lawyers say only the legislature can redress violations of the Electors Clause, are we here at all? Why didn't you just ask them?

Judge: "I have a very, very hard time seeing how this is justiciable in the federal court."

Judge Ludwig: Trump's request to have the case remanded to the state legislature is "a little bizarre."

Judge Ludwig was nominated to the bench by President Trump. This is a pretty straightforward status conference and he didn't want to get into the merits, but he seemed legitimately confused by some of what Trump wants.
