Imagine writing a NYT piece talking about how the court, actually, is good right now.

But Will Baude did it! Essentially, saying that all they get wrong was the Trump cases โ€” and then insists, sort of, IDK, that even that was for what they thought were good reasons. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/o...

I read elsewhere that this is a person who...clerked for Roberts. Very objective.

I am begging everybody to stop giving NYT your pageviews and subscription dollars. You are making journalism worse. Support small orgs and independent journalists. Find someone doing the reporting that you want to see and support it.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Chief Justice Roberts.

All these hacks are being welcomed with open arms by the NYT.

Absolutely deranged: "The court is motivated by statesmanship, which the country sorely needs today. The problem is that this statesmanship is a form of the kind of outcome-oriented policymaking that the court disparages in other contexts."

I've never seen "subservient to" spelled "unnerved" before.

Principled? This is probably the least principled SCOTUS in our history, despite them trying to look clean by "legalizing" their acceptance of bribes, eh hm, 'gratuities.'

Baude clerked for Roberts in 2008!

Can someone explain Will Baude to me? I get he's a conservative, but how does a man write major articles on qualified immunity being unfounded and section three being self executing and yet still say stuff like this about the court? It just doesn't make sense to me, Roberts clerk or not.

Trying to make a coherent whole of the court's handiwork this term takes an effort, to be sure. Ultimately, though, I think Will's throat-clearing to so strongly defend the court in all but the Trump cases is wrong.

I'd look at my take as a counterview: www.lawdork.com/p/the-spinel...
