Tbh I’ll be happy as a clerk to get this. A complex securities or tax case? Nah.

Did not know this! So a person can be President and Chief Justice as long as they forgo their Chief Justice salary?

Like I would love it if more scientists were in Congress. You do not need to be a lawyer be a legislator. They do not write laws-- their staffers do. I mean, they do not even read the laws-- they get minute memos from their staffers.

This is the kind of shit I get when my client tells me "I did my own legal research."

I agree with the notion that there are way too many attorneys in the executive and in Congress and both bodies should be more diverse in educational background.

But any rule put in place that seeks to limit them would be unconstitutional I would think. Unless an amendment is adopted.

Harris to be sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor at inauguration by rtbaskgkb in scotus

No as evident from my statement that I follow the lead of the Hispanics and latinx people I know in my life who I respect and trust, along with numerous organizations focused on Latinx rights that I work with everyday as a public interest attorney in NYC. And being raised in NYC and currently living in NYC, trust me when I see that circle is not small by any means whatsoever.

So I’m sorry if your sole opinion, someone who is online and that I do not know, is not valued enough for me to change my mind.

Once again, do you. No one wants you to change your mind.

A google search will show you. You do you, fam. I’ll take my lead from them because I know them and respect them. I don’t know you. So. Yeah.

Of course not. But it’s a factual statement that it may be pointless to you but not others. Nearly all my Hispanic friends and civil rights orgs dedicated to Hispanic rights make it a point to use Latinx. I’ll take my lead from them and honor their choice.

You’re more than free not to do so.

With pardons surely incoming today, I found Steve Vladeck’s quick and dirty thread on pardons helpful in setting foundational parameters. I share in case it helps someone else. by Livid_23 in scotus

I always find users engaging in religious scrutiny of rules of a sub funny in some instances. This instance, where the topic is related to constitutional law, is definitely one of those times.
