    @OrinKerr @imillhiser @Dahlialithwick I assume this will be obvious in retrospect. Justices in recent times are hired for their views, and with an unwavering life-tenured majority, they’re proceeding with pre-planned certainty and dispatch on their projects. Hard to think anyone or anything deters their lives’ work.

      @OrinKerr @imillhiser @Dahlialithwick Now I doubt these displays do anything. But if we’re resigned to a raft of deeply unpopular super-legislation, the only course forward seems persistent and careful checking pressure from a divided Congress over years. Otherwise they’re just a panel of Renaissance popes.
