@dilanesper@ProfDBernstein Ex: I don’t think the Chief agrees with Bostock in the 90s (or even when he was appointed in 2005).
There’s two shifts there - one societally (broader acceptance for gay persons), but one jurisprudentially (where we now focus on the plain text rather than atextual sources).
The idea that there are literally any legislatures anywhere in the entire country who are going “I want to racially discriminate just for sheer love of the game, but I’m gonna PRETEND it’s actually just to benefit my party” is so absurd I don’t even know how to address it.
@tralaleroc@Vibutler_ They give comprehensive reasoning when the case comes on the merits docket, as they did in this exact case, but doing so earlier can create a lock-in effect
