ohboii20202··on Supreme Court limits EPA’s power to cut emissions
It's time to de-sanctify the Supreme Court.

I really don't like having this unelected councils of wizards who get wield god-like "authority"-- it feels a bit gross in a democracy.

I 'get it' w/ respect BrownvBoard, Miranda, etc, but at least in my lifetime the court hasn't done much to expand or protect my rights. Greatest hits from them are weird election cases (Florida 2000) making it easier for really shadowy/fucked organizations to plow $$$ into elections.

If these folks are indeed just umpires & good old legal "scholars" who are there to call balls & strikes, why are hundreds of millions dollars spent promoting + grooming these individuals?

Going forward I'm very much in favor of subtle "judicial humiliation"-- across the board de-sanctify this institution

Step 0-- make 'em take C-SPAN cameras
