The current liberal approach has been to pray Dems win every election, and then hold their breath hoping an inimical Court didn't do too much damage, or then-Justice Kennedy would miraculously swing left. Those easier doctrinal days are dead. The time of real resistance is here.

No more hand-wringing over what it means to treat the Court as political. No more running away from teaching Con Law after Bush v Gore bc it feels "uncomfortable." What we need are strong, solid ideas about what principled resistance to a toxic but powerful institution looks like.

John, you have nothing I can do other than just your talk. I don’t even get why you say this stuff when voting in democrats would be the best resistance.
