Sorry, still disagree. Contrast an opinion from Thomas or Breyer (or even Kennedy for that matter) with this one from Gorsuch. The quips and trite verbiage are absent. And for good reason: it's not serious, and it's something people latch on to instead of the legal text of the opinion, especially today in the world of twitter and memes. People like the idea of Ginsberg as a feminist icon because of her terse dissents and demeanor but that's actually really kind of terrible. This isn't her fault - her opinions are absent of this kind of flowery language. They're to the point and well written. So I guess my point is Gorsuch is just asking for it - to be a pop culture thing. We should not want this of the High Court. >the "why" of the verdict SCOTUS doesn't have "verdict[s]". I'm not a lawyer but I've read probably 200+ opinions for fun over the last decade, listened to maybe 100+ oral arguments. I really love following the Court, and I probably have an allergic reaction to these people growing beyond their britches (they are unelected, after all).
