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.
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.
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.
