I spent 3 years and half a million dollars getting a law degree…and it make me feel good to know that everything I learned there doesn’t actually fucking matter. All I needed to learn was that if you are appointed by an authoritarian Cheeto, the law is what you make it.
“The main benefit of controlling a modern bureaucratic state is not the power to persecute the innocent. It is the power to protect the guilty.” - David Frum
You pretty much learn this, but then you find your way into camp A that attempts to hold up this system, or Camp B where you attempt to use this system to destroy itself…Camp B is struggling right now.
I have a friend who had a case before Cannon and told me that she was both one of the stupidest and the meanest judges she’s ever dealt with, which is saying something since she practices primarily in Florida. As a representative of the caliber of judges the Federalist Society has to offer, Cannon is pretty damning… and if we get four more years of Trump, the federal bench is going to be stacked with jurists even worse than her.
We are dangerously close to an emperor has no clothes moment in regards to the rule of law. When people digest that the law is whatever it needs to be to suit the needs of the moment, they’ll operate as if there is no law and they’ll be right. I fear we are already past the point of no return.
When the supreme law of the law, the Constitution, is nullified the Great American Experiment ceases to exist - we are there. The war has already begun.
I was wondering how much this Trump fuckery is going to effect legal precedent since precedent seems to matter quite a lot in the legal system. Or do you think most judges are going to straight up just say Trump gets more legal rights so precedent set by him doesn’t matter?
They don’t give a shit about precedent. They are fascists appointed by an insurrection leader. They will make decisions that benefit Christian nationalism without regard to anything else.
They’re not the only Judges though. If a otherwise normal judge was given an argument in court that brought up the precedent Trump set, laws start to fall apart. I’m worried that many laws will become almost unenforceable no matter who the judge is.
Members of the out group are allowed to argue precedent too, and like I said not every judge is going to be a fascist, so I’m still worried many laws are going to be unenforceable against anyone.
I suggest listening to the podcast Strict Scrutiny. They do a fantastic job of breaking down the way the current Supreme Court has just thrown out nearly every well established precedent. And it pretty much is based upon their own individual ideology and not based on any logical interpretation of the constitution.

2016-2020 - how far can I go placing terrible judges that’ll do my bidding
2024 - damnit, I could have gone even further the first time.

All for Donald fucking Trump.

That’s a goal. Laws should only be enforced if it is against a member of the out group.
Members of the out group are allowed to argue precedent too, and like I said not every judge is going to be a fascist, so I’m still worried many laws are going to be unenforceable against anyone.
For now
The problem is the backboard that was a rational supreme court no longer exists.

Precedent is dead thanks to chevron overturned. Supreme court took a massive shit on it
So much for the legitimacy of our courts and laws
It’s almost like Clarence Thomas is acting in the best interests of a foreign power trying to attack and ruin our country
Did you thought law was somehow divine before? Laws were always made to serve those who rule since their inception.
If you spent half a million dollars for a degree a have a bridge to sell you
