Heard that Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench today, which means she was mad mad, and lowkey I've been thinking that if you're going to do that you should also straight up hold a press conference so more people can see & hear it + it gets more coverage like if it's that bad let's act like it

"Sotomayor breaks precedent by standing outside with a huge 'BULLSHIT' sign, gets paid $10K *after* she puts the sign away so it's both outrageous and legal"

SCOTUS needs to be broadcast more as a general rule. Arguments on TV. I want the stupid to be a fully visual experience.

Yes, I wish these liberal justices would be willing to break out of the court's staid traditions when the alternative is only making easy-to-digest, pro forma complaints as their blatantly corrupt colleagues usher in fascism.

Exactly. Roberts can stop live audio/video in the Court. That is his prerogative. But he absolutely cannot stop you going outside and reading it (or any other statement) straight to television cameras.

I wonder if she is taking an approach wherein she *slowly* raises the temperature of her dissents to avoid being seen as a “hysterical liberal/woman.” I mean, you just KNOW that’s the narrative that a more sudden escalation would feed into.

At this point there are too many people too unaware or complacent about what's going on. The court is plunging like a rocket into uncorrectable illegitimacy. Biden lacks the will to state the obvious and act accordingly because that would ~violate norms~ or some bullshit.

That's been a consistent problem with the liberals on the Court: they seem genuinely outraged by a lot of what the majority is doing, but can't see their way to breaching decorum to demonstrate that outrage in a meaningful way. Institutionalism as a sedative.

You're 100% correct, but perpendicular to your point, I'm mad mad that a 70 year old diabetic won't retire while Democrats control the Senate.

I can't get too mad (or mad at all, really) with the govt having to have a jury trial when seeking significant civil penalties. I'm with @kenwhite.bsky.social on this one. Administrative adjudications when significant penalties are involved are a farce.

or just allow cameras into the court, it’s so ridiculous that momentous decisions about the functioning of our government are essentially obscured and necessarily filtered through a press corps which has been shown repeatedly to be chummy with the worst actors on this court

Yeah, the "arched eyebrow so you know it's bad" insider baseball signaling is stupid af. Those ppl aren't serious about democracy because they're too stuck in "norms & rules" discourse to see that those are preserving an authoritarian status quo.
