The scotus is going to absolutely decimate the constitution over the next decade once libs fill it in with 5 Sotos. Every insane idea will get a rubber stamp and free of further review. It's as clear as day.

It worries the fuck out of me. There is no practical mechanism to counter a rabid scotus. If it goes buckwild lib that's it. Hate speech exceptions, 2nd amendment, etc. As it is tie goes to the libs. It's all defense from here on out

Every lib appointment = 1

Every GOP appointment = 0.75 (being generous)

Maybe you can say the lib justices themselves skew conservative for shitlibism eg Kagan. I don't anticipate that will hold.

Kagan was a once in a lifetime pick. She was so smart plus she had the minority bona fides, she stood so far above the other candidates that they had no other choice.

Future lib picks will be much more Sotoesque

My thoughts:

He says he’ll release one later after he does some vetting man.

I think top choices are Kentaji Brown Jackson (DDC) and Leondra Krueger (Cal Supreme).

I don’t think there are any young black COA judges but I imagine they will be on there - I know Rawlinson (9th) and Thompson (1st) anyone else?

Maybe some other State supremes or district court judges?

Wonder if he’ll include people like Abrams or Sherolyn Ifill from the NAACP

I clerked for the 9th Circuit. Rawlinson would be great. She’s a former Vegas DA. She’s seen bullshitters and she can call them on it. She’s not going to abolish police or let a criminal out. But she’s also old, went to a shit law school, and is pretty dumb as far as federal appeals judges go (in fairness, she’s smarter than me; but she’s not an intellectual heavyweight like the typical SCOTUS pick).

She was the only dissenter in Bonds en banc victory.

Some highlights:

There is no joy in this dissenting judge. The per curiam and concurring opinions have struck out.

Strike One - The per curiam and concurring opinions second-guess the jury’s verdict rather than deferring to it.

Strike Two - The per curiam and concurring opinions disregard precedent that supports upholding the jury’s verdict.

Strike Three - The concurring opinions rely on precedent more applicable to perjury than to obstruction of justice.

Final Pitch

Barry Bonds received a grant of immunity in exchange for his truthful and candid testimony before the grand jury. Rather than aiding the grand jury in its investigatory quest, Bonds elected to obstruct the grand jury process by giving evasive testimony....I cry foul.
