Does anyone else here listen to the podcast “5-4” aka Five Four Pod?
I see the article saying:
>Claude is fully capable of acting as a Supreme Court Justice right now.
And I just can’t imagine what the hosts of that show would say to that (aside from “But how is Harlan Crow going to take Claude on a superyacht vacation??”).
- per1Peteia 2y agothis is precisely why I was suprised to find out the author is actually a lawyer. I know you're joking ... but reality of legal practice entails so much more than just a "right"/"rational"/"convincing" decision (hell, there's an eternal debate in legal theory about whether or not this is even a sensible thing to ask for).
- TaylorAlexander 2y agoYeah there’s a lot of people in this thread assuming that the role of the Supreme Court is to be as neutral as possible and make informed judgements based on careful reading of the law. But if you take the view that “the purpose of a system is what it does” then that’s not the purpose of the Supreme Court at all. What it actually does and the role it serves is hard to describe for me as a lay person, but it’s clear it’s not there to actually serve justice on the traditional sense.
