@heidilifeldman cuttingly notes the futility of trying to analyze the legal arguments behind Supreme Court rulings. JFK’s vaccine committee is a great example of this general idea at work — you can’t fight them on science cause they aren’t doing science at all. Science may be flawed and socially constructed and unable to discern ultimate truth, but it produced vaccines that saved millions of lives. Law is squishier, but norms & principles used to constrain it. No longer. https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/114764809189919248

  Any serious discussion of current Supreme Court opinions must start from the recognition that Court is lawless. It is as if high energy physicists starting conducting their work according to astrology without being honest about the shift. This wouldn’t be bad physics; it wouldn’t be physics at all. But they might be able to bamboozle non-physicists. So honest physicists of integrity would have to keep exposing the sham. 7/
