being unable to spot bad faith, racist bullshit this obvious as a fucking law professor is a bit like a movie critic claiming antman: quanumania is the best film of the last 20 years. it should really call into doubt their broader judgment, pretty much forever. - ThreadSky

How dare you besmirch the cinematic masterpiece that was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania...which I didn't see because I heard it wasn't very good and my son didn't care about seeing in theaters.

“One law professor recounted teaching his class that they should always give their opponents the benefit of the doubt that they were acting in good faith. He recalled a student who raised their hand and asked ‘why?’”

law profs pretending their colleague is Life Aquatic when really he's just Bright.

maybe they're just principled about a broader norm that you can just make shit up if it leads to an 'interesting legal theory'. and how can one blame them for that, really?

if that seems harsh, well, yeah, if you have any sort of cache or expertise, you should be careful before throwing it behind efforts to undo 150 years of tradition dating back to THE RESOLUTION OF THE CIVIL WAR on a whim or because someone is nice to you in the faculty lounge. fucking clowns

Michael - do you have any recommended reading on the history of the administrative state in the US? I’m curious generally what the reasoning is/was behind legislative deference to the executive branch rather than building the infrastructure themselves from the jump.

I have no idea why it's so difficult to say, "Wurman's contention is belied by a staggering volume of legal precedent and scholarship such that his full argument would have to appeal to fantastic new historical discoveries to be anything less than insulting" but apparently it is impossible

The real questions for me is what's the split between "mind so open brain fall out" and just class solidarity. But I guess that's just another way of asking "stupid or evil?" and, well, many such etc
