Reposted by @schaffagwarrant.bsky.socialCourtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 9hIn short, I feel like the damages listed in the piece have already been done, and failing to reckon with the damage that has been done is just not a useful way to handle how to manage the Court. 429623
Reposted by @schaffagwarrant.bsky.socialCourtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 9hIt is also bizarre to me to claim that somehow THIS is the thing that will make the Court to be seen as a partisan body bowing to the whims of the electorate, instead of the shenanigans that Mitch pulled to permanently alter the path of the Court. 329518
Reposted by @schaffagwarrant.bsky.socialCourtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 9h(Yes, I have read the piece.) I think the piece mistakes the issue: it thinks that Court expansion erodes public confidence in the moral authority of the Court. But that is just a wild claim to me. I don't think the Court has moral authority. 633530
Reposted by @schaffagwarrant.bsky.socialCourtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 9hI don't think we avoid that race to the bottom; I think we force the Court to grapple with its own legitimacy issues and understand that they will lose institutional power and prestige, and have already done so, by their actions. 232827
