That has got to be one of the dumbest things a lawyer has ever said in front of the Supreme Court.
It is an admission of guilt of the crime charged, in this case, slavery.
It is derived from the United States Code (U.S.C.), section two of title 18:
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal.
I don’t even know the context - but I can’t even imagine being such a colossal piece of shit

This is first-year law school stuff.
