Do I Repeat Myself? Very Well Then, I Repeat Myself

It’s not meant as comforting so much as explanatory, but if you take the time (especially as a former law student, like Dahlia Lithwick) to read the case most often cited in the arguments, things make more sense. It provides the vocabulary, the context, and the concepts under consideration.

I don’t expect even lawyers to have a peerless insight into Supreme Court cases being argued, but there was basically one case being discussed yesterday, and it provided everything from the relevance of Marbury to the concept of “private action.” If you want to understand why the Justices were talking the way they were, that’s the place to start. Then you can intelligently critique their positions (excluding your humble host from those who could offer a better critique).

It ain’t rocket science. πŸš€
