Wait: Was SCOTUS Awesome All Along?

A short but cogent analysis of the unexpectedly not-terrible SCOTUS emerging at the tail end of this term. Josh Marshall is a smart observer of government, and he makes an interesting argument that I think has some real value.

What unfortunate timing

TLDR: No, but they may have the sense to not push through the wackiest of the right-wing endeavors.

No, the conservatives ruling the SCOTUS are not awesome. They know that two of their rank were caught red handed in corruption. So they're rejecting the small, easy right wing nonsense to appear reasonable, while taking a chunk out of America with the Affirmative Action ruling.

First, we should note that the term isn’t over. Major decisions on affirmative action and student debt, among others, are still to come. So it’s premature to evaluate the term before it’s complete.

Yeah, you can say that again

Haha, this aged poorly.

I don't think it was good when it was new. The SC was never awesome, and now they're mostly bastards.

You mean the Scotus that overturned Roe v. Wade? No.

I don’t imagine you actually read the article? Otherwise you wouldn’t be arguing against a position that neither the article nor I take.

You're right I didn't, and maybe I should have, but I would argue that it's also just unhealthy for an article to have a title that's completely antithetical to what it's actually saying.
