'What #Socialmedia thinks' might be a concern of a politician but must not be the concern of judges. Social Media could've influenced #juries but a #judge mustn't be influenced by social media. Judges have to decide in accordance with the #law and not to go Argumentum #AdPopulum!

"You are warriors" v "they are fake news" as his opener.

Anchoring to Lincoln (again) and pivoting to law & order.
Those are antithetical claims.

His Justices haven't really voted his way this week.
