The good guys need to stop doing this.

A lot of lawyers are complete Pollyanna idealist nerds who still think the legal system is anything but a pay to play ssytem of violence. Like they're just pathetic fanboys of the system even though they intellectually know it's all kayfabe. It's really weird.

You can keep your disgust private and dissemble in public. That's part of being a professional. I shouldn't be the one to know this and have to point it out to a justice.

Agreed.

Liberals really love fixating on optics. They don't actually want improvement. They want the ILLUSION of improvement.

Meanwhile a judge that has stock in UHC and friends on the board: "I see no way this could impact my impartiality."

It's crazy that you have to recuse yourself for being right...

"pre-existing conditions may effect outcome decisions" needs to suck for them as much as it does the rest of us
