      In this case, not having them might be a benefit. Trump and his legal team would just be playing to the cameras and using this as a campaign event.

        The Supreme Court is different than the lower courts when it comes to allowing these sorts of shenanigans.

        I don’t believe what you described would happen, because first off Trump won’t be in there, just a few of his lawyers.

        And second, those lawyers, if they want to keep practicing after they’re done with Trump, will make sure to behave themselves while they are presenting their case, because if the Supreme Court gets pissed at them, then no one will ever want to hire those lawyers again, under the worry that they’ll never win another Supreme Court case.
