Trump administration lawyers redefine ‘chutzpah’

By Jennifer Rubin
August 6 at 1:00 PM

Chutzpah, according to the humorous definition of the Yiddish word, is when a man kills his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court as an orphan. The Trump crowd has done that one better. Chutzpah in the Trump era is snatching kids from their parents, losing track of the parents and telling the court that the parents’ lawyers (the American Civil Liberties Union in this case) should find them. That’s the sort of argument that an ethical lawyer would be embarrassed to make; naturally, it was the Trump administration’s position.
