“You’re a lawyer! What does this mean, really?” Man, I don’t fucking know. In the last week an entire area of law I studied was more or less rendered entirely moot and now there’s one specific guy in the whole country who may be able to do anything he wants without recourse. This is kind of new.

I've gotta wonder what law school curricula are gonna look like tomorrow. Are some classes just going to be cancelled for the rest of the semester? Group discussions about where this may end up?

I mean...it was said that the parliament has this kind of power, one stroke with its feather and whole libraries of law are moot. Didn't knew the judicial branch could inflict this kind of damage to itself.

Iain Banks had a brilliant way of phrasing it through the "Outside Context Problem" paragraphs in Excession: A concept so far outside of the norms that the norms simply halt, bent so far outside cultural framework as to break.

It’s fine. The Court assured us in very clear and specific terms that anything sussy, skeezy, weird, off-putting, dodgy, sketchy or “unofficial” will still be totally appealable by the President in a years long legal battle that delays any kind of justice or consequences for their actions.

Some other guy could do stuff and say that specific guy told him to do it... and I think about everyone would believe it if the specific guy said he didn't remember telling other guy to do stuff. I'd love to be an other guy right now.

Even putting Presidential Immunity aside (which, geez), in the last four days they've invalidated a vast swath of Federal regulatory law and then announced that anyone can challenge those regulations, even if they've been in place for 100 years and everybody has acted in reliance on them.

Honestly I worry this is the prelude to installing clergy as judges. "Why bother with flawed secular law? We only need people to interpret the highest law of all." ACB was already a test run of that.

I mean this is going so far back it's less in the ballpark of lawyers and now familiar area only to the early intellectuals of liberalism during the Enlightenment who had to contend with monarchy We have to now, 300 years later, seriously fight for rule of law again. 800 years since Magna Carta.
