Good morning! Will Milliken here. I’m a director in Sterne Kessler’s Trial and Appeals Group and co-chair of the firm’s Appellate Practice. I’ll be providing real-time analysis of today’s #SCOTUS argument in #Amgen v. Sanofi.

🚨5 key takeaways from today’s pivotal #SCOTUSLive arguments in Mazars, Deutsche Bank, & Vance -- all cases dealing with whether or not the president has immunity from accountability👇👇 #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw
1⃣As expected, Trump & DOJ attys portrayed Congressional & grand jury subpoenas as unprecedented and overreaching, when really *their* push for an imperial presidency is unprecedented...and dangerous. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw #SCOTUSLive
2⃣Trump’s attys pretended scope+scale of Trump investigs/pres subpoenas were new. But Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, Buchanan, Grant...not to mention Nixon, Ford, Carter & Clinton would disagree! Receipts in our amicus brief. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/19/1…

SPECIAL REPORT: The White House budget office doesn’t know if the $2.2 Trillion-dollar #stimuluspackage and #Trump ’s $1,200 stimulus checks might cause an inflationary spiral. But many economists have no doubt it will.

President Trump’s stimulus checks will carry an inflationary cost many multiples more than their $1,200 value in the pre #coronavirus economic reality, which won’t become apparent until after the election in November. 
#stimuluspackage #COVIDー19
To put the $2.2 trillion #CARESAct in perspective, the bill allocated a paltry 10 percent of the total ($250 billion) for direct individual assistance in a pie that was divided into hundreds of millions of recipients.

Kagan: points out that the branches have always cooperated, and this administration has completely required to cooperate (and is asking Court to bless that lack of cooperation) #SCOTUSLive #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
Trump’s atty: scale and scope of the requests is alone enough to tell you this is not legitimate.

Kagan, with a little judicial snark: yeah...I think some former presidents might disagree with you that this scope is unprecedented, friend. #SCOTUSLive #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
Subpoenas are for just personal documents -- that should lead to a lower standard, not a higher one. #SCOTUSLive #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

On #SCOTUSLive, Justice Thomas' recent questioning streak proves shortlived as he strikes out when called by chief during args on Trump admin's religious exemption to Obamacare contraception mandate. Roberts 'buellers' Thomas 2x. No response. 'We'll come back to Justice Thomas.'
RBG does surface right after that. Voice sounds a tad shaky, but not much different than usual. She's said to be at hospital.
Roberts wasn't joking about going back to Thomas. Just did and he surfaced with a question. So, perhaps his streak is intact. Still awaiting a ruling from the booth. Maybe try video replay.
