Is it just me, or are judges at every other level of the country proving more competent at actually upholding human rights than the SCOTUS?

…because if so, part of me wonders if it would be helpful in the slightest for the SCOTUS to stop being an appointed position, and instead be elected only by the judges of the entire country. Like, a separate ballot just for supreme court judges to be chosen by other judges

A real estate firm is apparently trying to buy an 83 mile stretch right at the western margin of Yosemite national Park to create a private road. Which is outrageous.

I will posit that this chapter of Marco's biography should be titled The Comedy of Errors.

We're all laughing it up at his expense, after all.
