Congrats to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope you placed your students in some nice clerkships.

You're right of course, except as to any implication that they may feel a sense of shame. Shame would really spoil the mood at their next Vineyard cocktail party.

Now that there is no more law, what are all those lawyers and law professors going to do?

Have some sympathy. They only have about a month and a half to rewrite all of their con law curricula.

They all got paid handsomely by conservative billionaires. They are good with their decisions. They are part of the elite and think they are safe.

Admittedly, I don't think they could have predicted Roberts just near-completely immunizing presidents from the law, or highly restricting what prosecutors can do in charging them for unofficial acts, based on Roberts hatred for the VRA in the 80s. That was genuinely unpredictable.

All the law profs who assured us the Court would never do any of this and we must respect the majesty of the institution.

Name names. Keeping it vague lets them get away with it.

Yes I get the satirical intent of this post, but my white hot rage doesn’t allow me to enjoy its subtleties: A giant fuck you to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts & Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope your students in clerkships get shingles in the eyes.

Remember when they were joking about "fishing trips" during hearings? My spidey sense sparked on that then. I thought I was being oversensitive. NOW we know what they were referring to.

Can law students get a refund? Everything's been flipped on it's head but this SCOTUS.

Ivy League and Notre Dame University have really churned out some turds (Barrett, Trump, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis and others).

I've been sending annoyed emails every so often to Alito's elite vouchsafer, Anthony Kronman, which I am confident accomplishes nothing

I'm old enough to remember when legal pundits on MSNBC told me that Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein were institutionalists.
