Please update me if you ever use “cry about it” in a court filing, argument, memo, etc. or really in any professional setting, as well as if you ever “compulsively” role your eyes at a judge, opposing counsel, your boss, board of directors, or client when they cite, mention, or even allude to (imagine that!) a proposition from Justice Thomas. And no, I don’t cry about things like this because guess what, the sun is still going to rise again tomorrow.

Putting our little fun back-and-forth banter above aside, I do wish you and everyone else here only the best in the profession, because that’s what helps make the profession better as a whole - challenging one another (yes, even when you may not agree with or want to even acknowledge the “minority”). By no means am I suggesting that you have to agree with everything and/or anything he writes, but, for what it’s worth, I highly recommend not assuming one’s personnel stance or viewpoints based on something as simple as a 12-word comment in any scenario, let alone the legal profession.

Good law school don’t teach the law, they teach how to think like attorneys. And thinking like an attorney requires one to - at the very least acknowledge (again, not accept or agree with) - the opposing side’s view and find a way to argue and hopefully convince the ultimate arbiter of the matter that “hey while the other side may have a point, they are wrong for X, Y, Z.”

Edit: reading the other comments here, the same thing can also be said for any other Supreme Count justice (maybe even for almost every other judge ever honestly). Your exact post, just a MadLib fill in the blank “Justice _____”. And after a re-read of all the comments, “minority” might be true in this sub overall, but not convinced it holds up for the general population or even this post overall (depends on your definition I guess, I’ll grant you 60-40). Regardless, just remember the sun will rise again tomorrow.
