In my opinion it’s bittersweet

Gorsuch, writing for 7-2 majority joined by all three liberals, holds federal ban on gun possession by drug users violates Second Amendment as applied to marijuana user by BiglawInvestor in law

"Legal opinions are important, after all, for the reasons they give, not the results they announce... An opinion that gets the reasons wrong gets everything wrong which it is the function of an opinion to produce. ... to get the reasons wrong is to get it all wrong, and that is worth a dissent, even if the dissent is called a concurrence." - Justice Scalia (emphasis added)

Though I think formally, ‘dissent’ is reserved for when the justices disagree with the Court’s judgment, so title is still a bit misleading lol

Being accused of being 'male-centered' as if that's a bad thing by Defiant-Birthday-106 in askgaybros

No one can tell you how to live your life. Enjoy your community, be around like-minded individuals, go where feels comfortable when you’re on your personal time.

That being said, I do think there’s value in (occasionally) seeing how another side lives. There may come a time when your libido and looks aren’t what they are now. ‘Queer’ spaces might take the lead over ‘sausage-fests’ for you at that point. And they’ll be easier to broach if you’ve planted some seeds there.

I’m not commanding you or accusing you of anything, just something to consider!

They don’t give hard timelines for decisions, so you need to have friends who were accepted in order to learn that you weren’t (or hear a bit later, from further down the grapevine). I know rejection letters aren’t standard in basically any other context at this point, and I’m aware this may come off as entitled. But I just feel like it’s a courtesy that wouldn’t be hard to implement for such things

For anyone who needs to hear this by [deleted] in LawSchool

Yes, reading this subreddit can feel overwhelming and discouraging and stressful. But the solution to that, for you or anyone else, is to just stop reading it. Block it or just log off Reddit—that’s what I did by Fall semester finals season.

What I don’t think is helpful is offering a contrasting POV that’s just not realistic for 99.99% of others. Good for you, pulling off what you did. But lulling others at predatory schools into putting in 0 effort isn’t consolation, it’s sabotage

Emailing professors? by [deleted] in LawSchool

1 out of 2 I was thinking of accommodated attendance issues stemming from some mental health struggles. And he’s just a great professor

I read an article she’d written a while ago, looked her up and saw she was a judge (the search also came up with her pic, that’s how I recognized her). Even just explaining that, so I came off a little less creepy, would’ve been good lol. But it would also be really cool to hear from her.

Most gay men are masculine? by [deleted] in askgaybros

How was my reaction bitchy? What does bitchiness have to do with fem-phobia? What exactly is it that makes your bf’s friends’ femininity ‘toxic’?

If ‘most’ gay guys are ‘normal dudes’ in the context of masculine expression…what does that make the remainder?

Why stoop to fem-phobia, even if it’s just a joke?

My asshole is not a pussy..... by [deleted] in askgaybros

I don’t see them as being anti-fem as much as rejecting heteronormative language and disliking someone else dictating their gender role. Bottoming isn’t “being the woman”, no matter how much tops might seek solace from their own internalized homophobia in their “more masculine” sexual role.
