The liberal justice’s decision to retire after more than 27 years on the court allows President Joe Biden to appoint a successor who could serve for several decades.
A few years ago, when I was just a dumb law student, I had a brief period where I would watch interviews with the SCOTUS judges, in particular the ones with Scalia and RBG. I figured they were both decent representatives of their different schools of thought, even if I didn't really agree with Scalia's general opinions.
Then someone pointed out his ruling in 2000 Bush v. Gore, as well as his absolutely insane support for the CIA torture programs, and the indefinite detentions in Guantanamo, and it all just unraveled. So even prior to discovering Chapo and leftism in general, I had given up all my respect for judges and their institutions. Working in a law firm then solidified those feelings, because half those cases had no fucking point to them, and were just being filed because a rich asshole got angry at his neighbours or something.
