MORNING MUSING

I do know I’m not all the time going to agree with their selections, however often — virtually all the time — I can no less than perceive how they received there. This one? Nope. And that is a drawback. Because if a law nerd like me, whose intuition is to offer SCOTUS the benefit of the doubt in most cases, is left considering, “Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot?” and if it is not simply me however famous legal students like Jonathan Turley, all of the Chief Justice’s efforts to protect the establishment and its credibility are going to wind up for naught. And we do need a credible Supreme Court to keep issues balanced.
I do not know who truly authored the transient (three-paragraph) determination (it is unsigned) — and we’ll set apart the truth that Justice Sotomayor might need an emotional assist llama at this level — however whoever it was did the court docket — and the nation — no favors.
