  1. “Legal experts weigh in”?
    Idiots.

    They are not the right people to judge how good a court decision is.

    No, obviously that is more appropriate for phisosophers or even the general public – lawyers apply the law, not fairness!

    We want supreme court decisions to be FAIR, lawful is just a proxy. And given the cumulative political influence some selfish people have had over the law, it’s a very bad proxy.

  2. The Gowachin had the only functional legal system: the winning lawyer killed the losing lawyer. “It was a practice which made for rare litigation and memorable court performances”, The Dosadi Experiment Frank Herbert.

    The recent Supreme Court patentability decision is a disaster.
