Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge.
I was in an undergraduate con law class (like half the rigor of an actual law class. Not even close to being difficult but still quite a lot of work to do) and a lot of the students recognized that case law just happens to be whatever a justice fucking makes up and then works backwards to justify. Our TA once did something funny which was to set up a clearly bullshit proposition that made the students bristle at how bad it was and then he proclaimed "Even Oliver Wendell Holmes said this! Would you dare disagree with Oliver Wendell Holmes!?!"
Sadly I don't remember what was being discussed in that moment but it was funny at the time.
