a guy who made one correct observation (rich kids are overrepresented at elite schools) and then drew nothing but brain-dead conclusions from it

I am as cynical about the Supreme Court as anyone, but if just want to post nihilist doomer shit and can’t think about the possibility of something better, go do something nice for yourself and stop posting.

Once again I am begging people to both read before clicking, and also to use their brains to imagine a system that functions marginally better than this shitty one

Just on a very basic level, if you are the highest court in the land and are always talking about how your sacred responsibility is to “say what the law is” and then it’s this easy to walk all over you…failed institution. Garbage! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

The justices often talk about how they alone have the power to "say what the law is," but if the entirety of their response to a president's remorseless defiance of their clear, unequivocal holding is to just sit there and take it, what's the point? ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Readler was a DOJ official during Trump's first term, so it's not like he's unfamiliar with the subject matter. Whether it's a, uh, prudent choice for him in his current capacity to publicly offer tips on best practices for current and future Trump lawyers is a different story!

Tomorrow I’m gonna be back to writing about the most hellacious things that the worst people in the country are doing to vulnerable people whom they hate. This was nice, though. Brain feels better because of it.
