i've known a few lawyers who have been part of teams that have argued cases in front of the Court and one thing i've heard from all of them is that multiple members are regularly on their phones. sometimes they sleep.
@isaiah_bb @DonotInnovate “Perception” of the supreme court’s Legitimacy” isn’t really the problem, then, is it. Frankly it sounds as if their ACTUAL “Legitimacy” might be the real issue. #WhoPaidSCOUSdebts #WhoPaidBrettKavanaughCreditCardDebt
@isaiah_bb @FacianeA the Supreme Court is imo the MOST powerful governing body in our country. they can take a voted on law and outright dismiss it with no citizen intervention. how are they not CSPANed on the daily??? thats INSANE!!
@isaiah_bb god forbid that we see them as partisan hacks that they are
@isaiah_bb Can the perception of SCOTUS be any lower?
@isaiah_bb I have two concerns. The first is people should be less concerned by perception and more by reality and the second is if they're worried showing them at work will lessen their legitimacy maybe that's a concern. To be fair I'm no better, I spend my work day on Twitter...
@isaiah_bb They’ve already decided the outcome of the case that’s why. All that’s left is for their interns to do the reasoning for them
@isaiah_bb Sure would suck if the supreme court lost all perceived neutrality and legitimacy over the course of 20 years of absolutely terrible court decisions. Or cameras, or whatever.
