Law schools left reeling after latest Supreme Court earthquakes : law

Friendly reminder that there's almost no overlap between people in law school/legal academia and those who post on /r/law.

It's not hard to find a fringe believer to give you a quote for your news article crying doom and gloom about SCOTUS, but my understanding the general consensus is that they're making the correct but unpalatable legal rulings, and they're getting away with it because the legislature has been completely dysfunctional for decades.

Roe v. Wade was a foregone conclusion because it was such a bad decision. Trump v. Anderson even got the liberal judges to sign off on it. No one is 100% comfortable with administrative rulemaking from Chevron.

Note that it's Sotomayor who's leading the hysterics. As senior justice among the liberal dissenters, she gets to assign the opinions to herself and writes absolute dreck, eschewing legal reasoning for emotional appeals. It's interesting to see that Jackson's started to write more of her own separate opinions, as has Kagan, because they are both smarter than her and realize that she's undermining their positions.
