But remember, our judges are non-partisan who just follow judicial theories of law to their logical conclusion.

we should take this to it’s logical conclusion. once made a judge you are permanently entombed in a sensory deprivation tank and only awakened from your induced coma after being injected with emotional suppressants to study and rule on a decision. eventually the body itself will be obsolete and they’ll just be brains-in-jars.

this will be the price they will pay for having such power. :sicko-laser:

Apparently it’s been a lot of fun being in Law School in the last two years, watching Law professors discover in real time that everything they believe in is made up bullshit and judges just do whatever they want with no consequences. There’s nothing that satisfies in quite the same way as watching a man watch his entire world burn before his eyes.

? Legal realism (esp with respect to constitutional law) has been pretty dominant in law schools for the last few decades (at least according to the professors at my law school). Maybe it’s taken a more radical turn recently, but I definitely left law school having been taught that constitutional law was total bs.

I was in an undergraduate con law class (like half the rigor of an actual law class. Not even close to being difficult but still quite a lot of work to do) and a lot of the students recognized that case law just happens to be whatever a justice fucking makes up and then works backwards to justify. Our TA once did something funny which was to set up a clearly bullshit proposition that made the students bristle at how bad it was and then he proclaimed “Even Oliver Wendell Holmes said this! Would you dare disagree with Oliver Wendell Holmes!?!”

Sadly I don’t remember what was being discussed in that moment but it was funny at the time.
