**AITA for Thinking the Solicitor General Is Just a High-Stakes Divorce Lawyer for the US Government?**

AITA for thinking the Solicitor General is just a high-stakes divorce lawyer for the US government?

Okay, hear me out. The White House just tapped a new Solicitor General, and the press release is talking about “defending the constitution” and “arguing before the Supreme Court” like it’s a big deal. TL;DR: It’s literally a person whose whole job is to show up to the highest court in the land and go, “Okay, but what if we didn’t do the thing the lower courts said?” 💀

Some boomer in the comments is like, “It’s the highest integrity office in the land, they argue for the law, not the party!” My brother in Christ, have you seen the last 5 years? The last SG literally dipped and went to work for a private prison lobby. The new one? Probably spent the weekend sharpening their “originalist” PowerPoint and practicing their “nice try, libs” face.

It’s basically professional gaslighting: “The president absolutely did not do that thing we all watched him do on video. No take-backsies, your honor.”

So, AITA for thinking this is just a paid role in a very expensive political LARP, or is there actually a chance this person cares about the spirit of the law and not just winning the “W” for the admin? Spare me the civics lesson, I’ve seen the tweets. 🔥
