In all the talk about the supreme court nationally I wanted to give some insight into how law schools are reacting. because I'm a law student. and so i just had some interesting experiences with these rulings and how people are reacting that i wanted to share if that's okay. yeah that'd be great let's hear it. yeah so there's sort of a split in the law school. not like one of the evil places like Harvard and yale. I'd say we're significantly less evil than that. but yeah so the students my age you know generally pretty understanding of the immorality of a lot of these decisions. but you talk about how democratic politicians can be like institutionalists and that's definitely a problem with professors. like yes let's see i mean also like your first year you have your legislation regulation class that teach you sort of the basics of like statutory interpretation. how agencies work and all that. and one of my classmates commented that the pastor of that class had to sort of like telling everybody to stop criticizing the supreme court and questioning it so much. saying like oh no there are these rules that the supreme court's got to follow. they gotta know they have to have reasons for their decisions. they can't just make decisions arbitrarily. and we saw how that turned out well. Emma and I both have experience with this. because you know in particular lawyers who are that who are i would guess older lawyers who have you know invested in the law and the way that a professor has they they cannot it would be the functional equivalent of a priest saying there is no god. yeah. there is no god. they can't say that. because everything else crumbles after that. if they if they acknowledge that the supreme court is ultimately a political body. that in lieu of being elected has created a series of rules that are in no way are they accountable to following those rules. and it's like you know the only thing i could i could i can analogize it to is i i saw a four-day test match 30 years ago when i was in in in australia. in melbourne. I saw a four-day qriket match. and they were telling me like in in a four-day match time's out.
