Writing for @CreditSlips, the #FinanceLaw scholar #AdamLevitin admits to feeling a bit of schadenfreude in that moment. The "blue collar" law scholars in "grubby" banking and money fields have always treated the conlaw set as "slightly clueless toffs":

Amy Coney Barrett is Five-Star General of the Footsoldiers of the patriarchy.
She is a religious zealot. No one should be dragged into a “I’m religious too!” when talking about her.

Ha! That fascist fuck #Trump has nominated three for SCOTUS!

@L_Toczylowski is taking over ImmDef’s Twitter this morning to live tweet from #MPP court in San Diego. Follow this thread to get a peek inside a border court where asylum seekers’ due process rights are being violated every single day. #RestoreAsylumNOW #SaveAsylum #EndMPP
While we wait for the CBP bus full of asylum seekers to arrive from the border, I am taking a look at the posted docket lists: 37 ppl have court this morning, & only 1 has a lawyer. This afternoon 107 ppl have court, & only 4 have lawyers. #RestoreAsylumNOW
Waiting for hearings to start. Asylum seekers here now. ICE detention officer just walked into courtroom & asked another guard “can you ask the aliens if anyone needs to go to the bathroom before we get started?” She asks in Spanish, the terrified, tired looking group all decline
