   Congress is capable of fixing it. Trump is the one trying to bar   
   attorneys from accessing DC entirely.

   Enter dog and pony show. SCOTUS is asleep, Trump is ignorant, and   
   Congress is hamstrung.

   If I were an attorney, I would be in DC right now.   
      
   In fact, I am an attorney. A big, importand, powerful attorney.
