In the mindset of somebody like Trump who thinks of everything merely as a transaction, you can rape a person and still proudly boast that you've never paid for sex.

Not exactly a strong negotiating position if it is you against the rest of the world. This is genuinely funny.

That's the same for any business related legal expense. Do businesses go without contracts? Or see them as being too expensive to negotiate and draft?
If the cost of maybe £10k per country (two or three laptops) doesn't offer value in your mind to a business that relies on its IP, then you are spending too much money on your laptops.

Well they do appear to be the ones with their heads screwed on the right way, and though they are obviously empire-building with all sorts of international shenanigans, they still know they have to be trusted to some degree.

Well that was a surprise. 9-0 against the government.

9-0 is remarkable given how partisan some of them are. I guess that even they saw that if they let this one pass, Trump could deport pretty much anyone he didn't like and then claim he had no jurisdiction to bring them back. Carte blanche.

Caroline Levitt really has no shame, repeating Trump's bullshite in her press conferences.
Claimed Trump's tariff strategy is a proven economic stance - proven to be an utter disaster maybe.

The govt basically sticking two fingers up at the judge. They really don't think they should be accountable, and are breaking all norms in how judges are addressed/treated. I suspect deliberately. They want a fight.

They seem to be arguing that foreign policy is outside of judicial review. And demanding that the SC show due deference to Trump.

Saying that the patent system is protectionist is not a particularly controversial point. Filing a patent and getting it issued may be straightforward, or not.
The US patent office was known to allow overly broad patents (one click shopping anyone). Those patents can then block complete areas of development for years. And most normal size companies can't afford to battle cases like those, as it costs a lot more than 40 laptops. This is just one example.
Patent trolls, buying patents waiting for someone to make something that may look like it infringes the patent and then suing them, is another well known issue.
These are just two examples of how something that seems benign ends up enabling parasitic practices that don't help progress.

The woman has the intelligence of a spam sandwich. Despite being a consummate liar, she’s incapable of answering any tricky question that doesn’t come from Trump’s pet journalists.
Instead she screams foul and talks nonsense about invites and privilege.
Trumps number one whore.

This is quite an extraordinary thread on the hearing, where it's obvious that the govt's lawyer is just playing a game of "Try and make me!" The lack of any respect is breathtaking, and how the judge didn't lose her cool I've no idea.
