I move that the reporter of this piece receive supplemental pay at the rate established for hazard pay for "work duty that causes extreme physical discomfort and distress which is not adequately alleviated by protective devices."

The "every imaginable scenario" type of hearing. These are exhausting. You want to say to the judge(s), "did you stay up all night thinking up absurd hypotheticals that have little or no bearing on the issues at hand?"

Then again, this involves Donald-fucking-Trump, and the RWNJs at SCOTUS loom, so they have to cover their bases.
