RIGHT??!?
How would you like to be Sonia Sotomayor or Ketanji Brown Jackson??
You’re a serious and talented jurist, you’ve worked your whole life for the ultimate level of respect possible in your profession... And it comes in the form of being trapped on this clearly-illegitimate court ‘til you die.
You are somehow the equal of Justices Boof and Buffy... and Long Dong Silver. Seriously WTF must that feel like??

@TheCuznEd @Alice Incredibly frustrating I'm sure. But probably also a bit rewarding to be the only rational voices of dissent in each dissenting opinion: your words are marked permanently in judgement of the bullshit. Plus, knowing you're in the minority and that there's little you can do, you're a bit freer in your choice of words. Kagan, Sotomoyer and Brown have all been pretty blunt in some recent decisions, just barely calling the majority holders idiots, and the majority decision bullshit.

@TheCuznEd @Alice Also, Sotomayor and Kagan are only in their 60s, so they have at least 3-4 more presidential terms left in them. Brown is 52. Alito: 72, Thomas is 74. Keep putting Democrats in the White House and hope those two aren't up on their Polio vaccines or get rickets or something and Gorsuch gets hit by a bus and maybe...

@tezoatlipoca @Alice
Your first reply had me feeling *a bit* less pessimistic already, and then you put a bus-shaped cherry on top. 😋
