This class of elite lawyers relies on the legitimacy of the law and the supreme court so they will not allow themselves to process basic facts that would contest it. Surely I can appeal my imprisonment in the gulag

A judge is just a person in a robe, these guys act like they're infallible wizards, it's incredible.

I am pretty sure you _could_ appeal your imprisonment in the gulag (but that fact might be more evidence of your guilt). Just like you can always appeal to the mercy of the king.

They seem to think they can float above base politics. But the 6 Supremes are using pure political power, and the only (nonviolent) response is also political power. Law that doesn't bind the prez certainly doesn't protect the citizens. Elite legal scholars included.

As a retired practitioner, I have trouble calling most of these academics "lawyers". Many of them have scarcely practiced, or practiced at a level so abstracted (e.g. drafting appellate briefs) from the law as it's fought in the trenches that they'd get filleted fighting a traffic ticket.

It's a perfect little statement for specifically constitutional law brain as well because most normal lawyers have to think about the actual mechanism: who controls your ability to file something in court? BOP. And who is BOP's boss? Oh yeah it's the guy who imprisoned his political enemies

And surely the men with guns will let you out just because a judge filed an order on PACER.

They feel their agency slipping away.
