Thankful for SCOTUS

Now we have the self-anointed star of the Seventh Circuit, Richard Posner, taking potshots at the Roberts Court, Roberts himself, and various "stupid" opinions. Posner's a smart guy, but a royal pain in the arse.

Well, he did say that the current 8 justices on the Court are probably in the top 10,000 lawyers in America today (although not in the top 1,000) so that wasn't completely damning.

He wouldn't have been nominated by Clinton, he's too old and it would be chaos during the hearings, but it would've been fun to watch.

Of course, Posner places himself in the top 5.

Ironically it’s going to be the media that makes their situation worse. They are doubling down on the identity politics…so when the donks oppose vouchers and the teachers union throws everything they have at DeVos, they will basically be saying they don’t want poor black and brown kids from the hood getting access to what the rich white kids from the burbs have…the irony (and in-fighting) is going to be delicious. I can’t wait.

I don't know if I'm against vouchers anymore but busing some kids to the nice hoods doesn't solve the long term problem either.

Racist.
