WASHINGTON, D.C. – A long-awaited oral argument was heard on Tuesday morning in the Bridgegate appeals of Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni. The parties submitted legal briefs in fall 2019 and, today, the justices had an opportunity to question attorneys for the state and the appellants directly.
At stake: whether the convictions of two of Bridgegate’s co-conspirators will be thrown out.

An interesting spectator was present for the action:
Supreme Court just heard arguments in Bridgegate.
Chris Christie sat with his wife directly in front of Bridget Anne Kelly.
More than half the justices expressed skepticism about the government’s case.
