At the start, Verrilli stammered like a dorky guy in an 80s movie trying to ask out the hottest chick in class.

Reading the transcript of today's Supreme Court hearing, it suddenly hit me: Donald Verrilli is the new Billy Cundiff.

RT @politicalmath: No, no, no Verrilli. You're supposed to get drunk the night *after* your SCOTUS argument. Not *before*.

CNN's @jeffreytoobin says Solicitor Gen Verrilli performed poorly answering conservative justices' questions. "I think he was just nervous."

You can mark the point -- page 14 -- when the liberal justices decide Verrilli is screwing up and step in to make his argument for him.
