sorry to bring over content from the other place, but: imagine thinking that this wikipedia-summary-level language in an official SCOTUS means Baby Boy Brett is *impressive*

You can always tell the nerds. They're the ones who consult 50-year-old children's television when they're in the Supreme Court and need to find out what's in the Constitution.

“Those who swear an oath to uphold the Constitution who later engage in insurrection are ineligible for office.” Oops, actually the Constitution doesn’t mean what it says when Brett doesn’t want it to.

Plus, he lumps all this stuff together as if the Constitution emerged fully-formed from the brow of James Madison rather than being cobbled together with spit and baling wire over multiple generations.

A 2L Summer intern could have written that. Not impressive at all. The Jr Associate waiting on her license to come in doing clerking jobs till then wrote better stuff. This is basic lawyering level of writing. Something I'd expect most to be able to do. So, it was probably one of his clerks.

My main thought is that every other developed country has a 'modern' constitution, not centuries old, and don't make decisions based on what old white men thought was hundreds of years ago in very different times. Except for religion, religion has been a problem since the ages.

Mr. and Mrs. Kavanaugh, Brett is in 10th grade now, and his essay has to do more than list facts about the Constitution. I can't change his grade - it wouldn't be fair to the students whose essays explained the context for these provisions.
