A perfectly balanced circuit court needs to have exactly one black one and one girl one. If they already have one or the other it’s really probably best to go out and pick a different demographic like a funny one or a fratty one or a smart one or something - it’s been a while since we’ve had a lewd one, maybe dust one of those off - me too has come and gone at this point

the stuff in the op about alito and kagan being boring as hell may have been made in jest but its really not too far off to say the court becoming boring has been bad for its legitimacy because without the weird pet pedant issues the courts makeup is just that much more obviously partisan

like gorsuch is the only halfway interesting one that was even nominated this century because hes a goofball libertarian that loves native rights who writes his opinions in the style of a bad high school essay its been what four years of kavanaugh and all anyone can remember about him is still just oh hes the beer pong guy

the main thing I remember about kavanaugh is him lying, under oath, about what a devil's triangle is

"there can be only one"

the Black Highlander Rule is a casting trope, i.e. there's usually no more than one black main character in a television show and if a second shows up inevitably it will lead to one of them leaving the show

my boldly unsupportable claim is that SCOTUS nominations in the 21st century are akin to casting decisions more than jurisprudential exercises, and so long as there's one black SCOTUS member senators have protection voting against a black nominee that they wouldn't have if there were none currently serving

If (when) Donald J. Trump becomes president again in 2024, do you think he is more likely to push for a geeky justice with glasses who stutters when talking to girls, a wheelchair bound justice with sick rapping rhymes or a girl justice who can fight like a boy because she was raised with 3 brothers?

All of them support making it legal to throw babies into a giant meatgrinder if it "helps the economy" so they would all have bipartisan support if that helps you.

He has to constantly judge the right time to detonate his stickies so he's basically a full-time judge unlike the jokers that have downtime between cases

Given that Pelosi was next to Biden yesterday and tested positive for COVID today, I wonder if Brown Jackson just got a 'welcome gift' for The Supreme Court... :thunk:

god can you imagine how funny it would be if she showed up and spread it around and then someone like alito ends up on a vent and biden gets another nom. republicans would never stop crying about how their seat got "stolen back"

I would totally believe the Republicans to shift gears suddenly to 'The Coronavirus was bad actually and worse under Biden' if some of their Senators or one of the conservative justices died.

I don't believe that authoritarians would be able to acknowledge illness because that acknowledges weakness. They'd just blame Dems for murdering the person and trying to make it look like covid.
