I think both the Justices and Feldman knew the awkward predicament Feldman found himself in today. He was mere window dressing for a untenable position and all arguing today had a fair clue as to where the majority would be leaning. Sometimes lawyers find themseleves in that predicament but you still have an advocacy role and a task at hand.
Those 30 minutes in that chamber,if you're thoroughly prepared,win or lose, has got to be one of the ultimates in mind blowing experiences for an attorney. I wouldn't have wanted to be in his shoes today but I'd rather have been in his shoes today than mine,if you understand my point.
