BREAKING: Solicitor General Caught Using AI to Write Supreme Court Briefs – Then Leaks Own Memo Admitting ‘I Just Prompted It’

🚨 The Claim: A whistleblower inside the Department of Justice has leaked an internal memo purportedly written by the U.S. Solicitor General, Elizabeth B. Prelogar, admitting that she used a custom AI chatbot to draft the government’s key briefs in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and SEC v. Jarkesy — two of the term’s most consequential cases.

The “Quote”:

“Frankly, I just typed ‘Write a brief arguing that Chevron deference is dead’ into the tool, and it did the heavy lifting. The justices couldn’t tell the difference. Neither could my clerks.”

The Reaction: Within hours, the leak had exploded on X (formerly Twitter), with conservative legal commentators claiming this proves the “deep state is outsourcing its legal reasoning to Silicon Valley,” while liberal law professors argue it’s a “dangerous precedent for judicial review.”

The Verification:

✅ Is the memo real? FALSE. The Department of Justice has officially denied the existence of any such memo. A spokesperson called the leak a “crude forgery,” noting that the Solicitor General’s office does not use anyone’s custom AI, and that the alleged memo contains formatting errors inconsistent with official government documents.

✅ Did a whistleblower come forward? PARTIALLY TRUE. An anonymous account on X with no verified background claimed to be the source. The account was created three hours before the post and has since been suspended for “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”

✅ Could the Solicitor General legally use AI for briefs? MISLEADING. While the DOJ does use AI for document review
