Writing an opinion with a little “well we clearly don’t mean *that*; it’d be silly” rebuttal to a dissent is an extremely cute look for a textualist.

Eh, you can see some of it with the response to Bruen: crusty H.W. Bush appointees getting pissed they just got press-ganged into being historians.

Not just liberals but also all the small-c conservative judges who built their egos on being the arbiters of truth and not just paper carriers/dancing monkeys for SCOTUS

I guess. If you gave me Roberts’s immunity opinion and I had to separate the Jan 6 indictment into the *cough* categories using the *bird song/dolphin noise* principles laid out in *page of dream journal smeared with shit*, I’d just walk into the ocean. But maybe Chutkan’s built different

There’s also a hilarious refractory period right after the stage is over where it just deadass disappears from the “Tour de France” section for a few hours and you can only find the replay by searching for it by name.

Eh, I see a lot of folks trying to eat the shit sandwiches and operationalize all the vibe tests into actual procedure and rulings. I’m curious what it takes to make judges just straight up flip coins at the end of arguments.

A fun consequence of the immunity decision is that it seems to grant POTUS the ability to commit assault (via true threats) and fraud against literally any other member of the executive branch, so that’s neat.

PROTAGONIST, who should know better: *incomprehensible gibberish about wanting to do something obviously dumb* CHORUS, wearily: O honey, no, we don’t put our spoons in our water cups, we use our spoons to scoop our oatmeal. Scoop scoop scoop! Yes, now there’s a big puddle. No, not for splashing.

Once again incandescent with rage that Peacock only lets you go back an hour or two into a live broadcast, thus requiring that I wait until the stage is entirely over to be able to watch the start
