White House East Wing Litigation Sparks New Era of Digital Diplomacy: Your AI Lawyer Can Now Attend State Dinners
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a landmark ruling that has stunned the diplomatic corps, the Supreme Court today upheld the legality of "digital surrogates" in White House East Wing litigation, paving the way for AI-powered legal representatives to attend state functions alongside human aides. The decision, stemming from a bitter dispute over a leaked haute couture dress at a 2026 reception, has forced the East Wing to rewrite its guest list protocols. Future attendees may soon find their plus-one is a hologram of their legal counsel, ready to settle etiquette violations and copyright disputes in real-time. Critics fear this will turn formal dinners into adversarial hearings, while supporters hail it as the first step toward a fully automated judiciary.
