Today with the #SCOTUS ruling on #AffirmativeAction brought out the conservatives who only know that one quote from #MLK and that’s it. You know the one.
Well they also cited law, so that was a pretty important part of the decision that was required by the law.
@volkris well since I wasn’t descriptions the justices in the majority themselves, your comment is completely irrelevant to my post. But if I were to broach the topic, your contention that citing law means that a court’s decision can’t be wrong or faulty is laughably naive and disconnected from how courts work.
Well the thing is, since the justices were citing quite a lot of law, it shows that they in fact do know more than just one MLK quote.
And in fact they know things that are actually pregnant to their job.
The MLK quote had nothing to do with their job, but all of the laws they were citing did, so that they were quoting things actually related to their job is pretty important in this ruling.
Also I made no such contention, so I don't know where you got that from either
@volkris again you’re responding to something the original post didn’t even say which is incredibly strange. I said conservatives, not conservative justices, since many rightwing pols have used that one quote today. So you’re just arguing about something I didn’t even say.
And to your point about the majority justices citing law, those in the minority also did so who is to say the majority’s view is the correct interpretation? That they in fact know more?
You said that they only know that one quote from MLK.
Well no. If you read the opinion, they know a lot of other things besides that one quote, most importantly, they know the laws that were passed through the democratic process. They cited the laws that our elected representatives enacted that have nothing to do with MLK.
@volkris I don’t know how many times I have to say it but I have now said multiple times that the decision brought out conservatives who only know the one quote. Jesus. I’m done
I mean you can say that all you want, but the actual opinion pretty much sinks your claim.
I'm sorry but you are apparently clinging to this idea that is very easy to debunk by looking at what they actually said.
I don't know why you would do that, but you do you.
@volkris because I said conservatives not the conservative justices! You keep arguing something I haven’t said bc you misunderstood the initial post. And after I have clarified it, you keep going. Not the justices. Conservative commentators and politicians. You’re willfully misrepresenting my point now.
It would have been more productive if you had cited what you were actually talking about earlier.
It's a little late in the game to actually bring up the specific things that you were responding to.
@volkris well other people understood so it must just be you. Misunderstanding the first post is fine, but after I explained it to you multiple times, you still refused to engage in my actual point. The examples are everywhere so I didn’t think you were so disconnected from the discourse around the ruling that I needed to spell it out for you. And I’ll just say if your reading comprehension is this poor, I’ll be taking your opinions on the judiciary with a grain of salt.
