Looking at this another way, this case is a call-for-solicitor-general. Trump will pick John Sauer for SG because Sauer wrote a chapter of Project 2025.

A generation ago, the Contract with America arrived with Republican electoral gains. These manifestos are important because otherwise individual Republicans don’t have both the skills of governance and populist appeal.

It’s interesting that Project 2025 argues that its social points necessitate a more powerful executive. Like a Minister of Health rather than a supervisor of the department distributing advice on maybe improving medical regulations please.
