Part of how we got here has been to leave too much of the discussion about all of this to lawyers. People feel like they can't understand the courts without law degrees and that's just not true. But we're left without a robust group of non-lawyer activists and organizers who could offer leadership.

It seems like many lawyers operate under the assumption that anyone who takes issue with the system has failed to understand it and must be in need of education 😞

Indeed this was the problem with the civil libertarians 25 years ago.

It's simple to explain now that the court isn't pretending to follow any laws

It's hard to overstate how little law school actually teaches. Having a law degree does not mean that we are especially smart, reasonable, or competent. (I'd be more likely to argue the opposite.) And, our incentives are often inimical to justice. Please don't leave this country up to the lawyers.

My unpopular take is that, regardless of how you felt about the issue, anyone that thought nine justices should be making the decision about how a nation defines say something like marriage was shortsighted.

I know a few lawyers and have asked more of them questions about where to go from here and they have increasingly been like “you know what I know buddy” which is an opening I think but agree there are few to help teach into it.

The leadership vacuum across society in so many areas, public and private, feels so so real.
