No one is saying anyone on the SCOTUS is stupid. In fact, the opposite is the real problem: they are professional legal scholars with a wide knowledge of legal precedent. Applying legal arguments to real life situations often leads to conclusions that people who aren’t judges or lawyers would consider absurd.
- smsm42 7y agoThat has been the case for the last 250 years and somehow the republic survived that pretty well. Surely there were some absurd SCOTUS decisions, but there were also some absurd laws, absurd executive orders and absurd government actions on all levels. Nothing changed there, SCOTUS haven't become any different than it was and is as capable of handling complexities of life as it ever was. I don't think there's any need to specifically single out journalists as special protected class that have different rights form all other people and need special care from SCOUS who otherwise will be unable to figure out such thing as destroying privacy on the internet.
