Pro tip: If you're accused of doing something and naughtly librarians and the eroticism of intellecyou're trying to argue that you didn't, it's best not to tweet that you did, in fact, do exactly what you're accused of.
It's a lesson that our tweeter in chief may still be learning, if a recent tweetstorm is any indication.

Courts have so far ruled that it is, while the administration has said the opposite.
Until Trump got on Twitter and undermined the White House's position.
Here's the president on Monday:

Admitting it's a ban is maybe not the advice the solicitor general -- who represents the administration in cases heard by the Supreme Court -- would have given the president.

Trump's legal opposition -- Neal Katyal, the attorney for the state of Hawaii, which took the administration's proposed order to court -- was pretty happy, though.

Even George Conway -- a lawyer and husband to Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to the president -- shook his head at the president's tweets.

It may not come as a shock then that the president is reportedly struggling to find a top-notch lawyer to represent him in investigations looking into the president and his campaign/administration's involvement with Russian government officials. This also isn't the first time Trump's tweets have harmed his case about this issue. Previous legal filings have cited the president's tweets as evidence that the motivating factor for the travel ban is animus towards Muslims rather than a legitimate security need.
The White House has asked the Supreme Court to decide on hearing the travel ban case before justices depart for the summer. If the court does this and decides to take the case, expect arguments to follow sometime this fall.
