When the Chief Justice posits that people would refer to your proposed outcome as "that crazy Supreme Court decision" IN THE MIDST OF arguments in your case, things probably aren't going well for you. Image
From today's very interesting First Amendment/censure/public bodies arguments in Houston Community College Sys. v. Wilson: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
Here's Kagan, following up in agreement with Roberts and questioning whether the respondent's position — arguing that the First Amendment limits his censure by a board on which he sits — works: Image

Am I going to make my brain explode by reading all of this bullshit, or am I going to actually enjoy my night?
Lol. These jerks doing the "DRAFT" thing and not giving us the documents in a way that we can highlight or copy and paste.
