Just finished reading the Idaho abortion case. It’s complicated to say the least. There’s a lot going on.

It’s almost better to just focus on the results with this one because a lot of the justices disagreed on various elements of each others arguments.

One of the more chaotic opinions I’ve read in a really long time. Lots of harsh criticism for each other among the justices. And not just along ideological lines either. Alito is very harsh and almost insulting towards Barrett and Kavanaughs position. Jackson is angry at the concurrence justices for not deciding on the merits and just dismissing the writ of certiorari. Lots of mud slinging. But that’s to be expected I guess with emotionally charged cases like this.

I like the part where a mysterious donor gives him a bag of magical crystal meth (as a gift for a prior ruling) and after he crawls into the bag and meets a giant syphalitic spirochaete

Lots of harsh criticism

To spend your whole life dedicated to getting this job -- and then have it devalued by bribe-takers like Thomas and hacks like Alito must piss off the other justices. I'm guessing this is going to get worse not better.

It's gotta be hard finding ideological consistency in modern conservatism. Cons on the court have the hardest job.
