I've decided to tweak my ancientChina!SCOTUS assignments a little bit, as Sotomayor got 30% of the court's entire work last time. Note that this time none of these circuits are even (geographically) close to which circuit they actually are in charge of. (a 🧵)

Will I live to see Justice Thomas get replaced or kill myself from Chem first

No actually Justice Gorsuch reminds me of Anaxa from... Honkai Star Rail

I am fascinated by whatever is going on here and how this hoax came to involve her

Elena knows that she is wanted and that she will likely be executed - she understood from the moment she sent out her decision.

"Do you ever regret that decision? If you hadn't intervened then -"

"It was for the people."

ancientChina!Elena Kagan is officially a wanted fugitive. Emperor Trump has signed a warrant for her and encourages all citizens to bring her in for 'trial' if they see her. Of course, her circuit is in the middle of the mountains, so she rarely sees anyone.

But even Alito understands that the ego of the Emperor is not something to stomp on - Trump would prefer to execute Elena himself. So he has to capture her alive. Surprisingly, save for one member of his crew that fell dead due to malaria, he is able to find her easily.

9. I have beef with this transliteration. What do you mean Gorsuch is gésàqí???? Yes, I know how sounds work in Chinese, I'm just mad.

8. So much potential... even the pinyin is close... kǎgēn... but due to the quirks of the language, it sounds nothing like her name (which I do like the sound of in English very much). :(

"You can pretty much use whatever swear word you have in your book to describe SCOTUS as an institution"

"justice jackson, why do you have a matcha mixer in your office?" "my clerks introduced me to the concept of a strawberry lavender oat milk matcha latte and there is NO going back."

[Et18 🏳️‍🌈 @Et18_Andromeda]

Justice Jackson would unironically drink strawberry lavender oat milk matcha lattes
