/11 One day the Trumpists will fall. Something has to emerge from that. I'd prefer it be an honest and accountable rule of law, one actually run on principles and not on luxury motor homes, rather on the whim of some other group of strongmen.

/10 The Supreme Court and the institutions supporting it being corrupt doesn't mean that you stop defending accused criminals or suing to get your client what they deserve or fighting for justice in lower courts. When Nazis occupied Paris we didn't raze it, we took it back.

/9 By the way - we should also fight the inclination to abandon the rule of law because bad people are cynically abusing it. First, while bad things happen on a national scale, every day on a micro scale advocates use the rule of law to fight injustice and improve lives.

/8 Fight, scorn, defy, and obstruct them, because they are the unapologetic forces of ignorance, bigotry, and thuggery.

/7 SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, the entire academic and intellectual infrastructure that brought us here: they're nothing but pretentious Trumpers. At least the guy in the MAGA hat and "fuck your feelings" t-shirt is honest about who he is. These people are not.

/6 I decline to give SCOTUS -- or the academic and cultural institutions and people who have made it what it is now -- any benefit of doubt or of cleverly constructed arguments in these matters.
