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 don't need to stay awake for arguments when you know how you're deciding when you took the case!
@the_real_jeebus @isaiah_bb I’d say, one: you should have the decency to stay awake and pay attention, but two: these cases are all being decided based on hundreds of pages of briefing and thousands of pages of case law and that’s almost certainly better than vibing with the better rhetorician that day.
@the_real_jeebus @isaiah_bb And it’s easy to “decide” the case when they’re always doing what the GOP overlords tell them to do.
