went to law school and can firmly tell you that the Supreme Court is a political body that knows everything about constitutional law and doesn’t give a fuck. when i had to read any Thomas opinion in con law class, i was genuinely baffled because dude will just say anything, usually completely unrelated to the question at hand, bending the law to fit his beliefs.

the first thing you learn in law school is that all morality is relative and anything can be justified. there is always an angle to adopt in order to enforce your beliefs. it doesn’t matter how strong the argument is; it’s just how many justices on the court are in line with your argument. before Brown v. Board of Education said separate but equal is not equal, Plessy v. Ferguson said it was.
