    From the CNBC article that is the source for the linked post:

    Trump’s suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, effectively guaranteeing that it would be assigned to Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump nominee with a conservative judicial record.

    That gives Trump a much better chance of winning than you’d think from only reading the Political Wire post.

      There’s zero chance this would win. It would effectively bring an end to a free and independent pre…oh

      But even if he does win, there’s no way the Supreme Court would upho…oh

      I guess we can throw “free press” on the growing pile of things in the Constitution that the courts write off as “unenforceable”.

      Remember when the Constitution was a sacred document of the rights of the People instead of just a list of ideas that can be ignored at will when they become inconvenient? Pepprige farm remembers.
