I’m trying to come up with an american equivalent to the Goianistão and I’m realizing that I can’t. Imagine a place with a concentration of wealth, power and misanthropy of the Bay Area; now imagine it had the literacy rates of West Virginia and the racial politics of Mississippi.

@leafykellman O'Connor v. Rehnquist was a landmark (5-2) Supreme Court case about whether First Women status applies retroactively or not regarding transgender individuals, RBG delivering the majority opinion, Scalia dissenting joined by Thomas.
Here, @KimberlyEAtkins recalls that Chief Justice Rehnquist was very strict in upholding conservative dress codes at the SC. If so, he'd come a long way from his days at the Nixon DOJ. According to John Dean, Nixon once commented that R looked "just like a clown." Dean writes:
@JimmyP215@Remember_Sarah My absolute favorite story about Rehnquist was when aides told Nixon about Rehnquist, Nixon, a rabid antisemite if there ever was one, asked "Is he Jewish? He looks it" and called him "Renchburg."

"[Rehnquist's book] was about the arcane subject of a federal district judge on a three-judge court who would do anything, including murder, to get on the court of appeals.
