One out of Pennsylvania, one out of Texas, and in both instances, the lawyers asked me to argue those cases, and so with regard to the Texas case, President Trump called me and said, ‘Ted, would you do the oral argument in this case if the court takes it?’ I told the president, ‘Absolutely, I’d be happy to do it.’ I wish the court had taken one or both of those cases. I think the Supreme Court be a better forum for resolving those issues.”
