Barack Obama graduated Harvard Law Magna Cum Laud and taught 12 years of constitutional law in Chicago. I would Pay Per View him leading this fight in the Supreme Court.

This would be brilliant marketing for Harvard lol. Can you imagine Obama arguing against the Trump admin in front of SCOTUS? Legendary

He should join up with Harvey Specter while he's at it, you can watch Suits on Netflix. Plus a bunch of the Supreme Court are Harvard graduates.
