I’ll be sure to tell everybody that their power isn’t limited by what the cases say, but by their good faith belief in what the cases WILL say.

I swear, y’all act all surprised at how powerful the bad guys always seem to get, but you’re so quick to destroy all conceptual limitations on government power when you think a good guy is wielding it (for the next couple years). How the fuck do you think you’re going to feel when it’s Joe Arpaio reading your well-considered briefs on the dictates of conscience WRT what the Constitution says? I’ll bet he thinks the SCOTUS will go his way any day now.
