Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a proclamation on Tuesday acknowledging Emma Weyant as the winner of a women's college swimming event after her recent loss to a transgender athlete and accused the NCAA of destroying opportunities for women.
Last year was the last hope for the dems to fix the court. I know it's as unlikely as science fiction but Biden and the dems could have packed the court. In the course of her career KBJ could pen 100 or 100,000 fiery, powerful, impassioned, etc (ad naseum) dissents but none of them will matter because she and the other dems on the court will have no power for quite a long time. Surely a decade at least.
She's 51 so it's also possible that she'll never be on a court with a dem majority. I expect dark days for the US and I think that's the powerless future she and the other dem justices will have.
the smugness as a motivator is fine I guess if it motivates them to vote / mobilize against bigots, but goddamn is it it annoying.
I disagree.

if she's anything like the rest of them except maybe Sotomayor she'll have plenty of power ruling in favor of capital over labor.
