Well, we're not executing any justices, and even the idea of a new round of Nuremberg trials is laughable.

I'd settle for gibbets or pillories.

I miss the lawyer I was when SCOTUS was something that could be respected by people in the legal profession.  That lawyer was so eager and energetic and thoughtful. 

 

It's too bad the Roberts Court killed him (and many others like him--looking at you, @Brisketexan & @DDD Dad).

I won't believe it until twicehorn comes through to tell us we're all overreacting and yet it's also worse than we thought 

Its worse than we thought.

I like fried gibbets, and appreciate a mature woman with nice pillories.

As I re-read Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Trump v. CASA, Inc., I hold out some possibility that Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagen were three of the four votes needed to grant cert.

Kavanaugh concurred in that case specifically arguing that CASA wasn't a big deal because SCOTUS would get a chance to decide the EO on its (complete lack of) merits.  Sotomayor was all "bullshit motherfucker, because the DOJ would know it'd get poured out and so it'd never petition for cert."  And so once the DOJ did petition for cert, I think it's possible that Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagen voted in favor with Kavanaugh voting yes also because he kind of set himself up to do so with his concurrence in CASA.

 

At least, I really really hope that's the deal.
