SCOTUSblog joined Bluesky just a few days before founder Tom Goldstein published his "under the Constitution Trump is above the law" op-ed in The New York Times, and now the replies to anything they post, no matter how anodyne, are just people cooking Tom for being a deeply wrong bootlicker

I come from the future with a funny update, Past Jay! 😂 bsky.app/profile/josh...

"Tom Goldstein, a publisher of SCOTUSblog and one of the most experienced U.S. Supreme Court lawyers in the country, was indicted Thursday in Maryland federal court on charges he schemed to evade taxes for years and used funds from his boutique law firm to cover gambling debts."

Tom Goldstein understands what some narrow-minded peons (ordinary people) don’t, namely that Trump is a true Nietzschean hero, and that therefore our simple morality and laws don’t apply to him.

My understanding is that Tom isn't much involved in the day-to-day at SCOTUSblog, and they've had (and have) good journalists there, and it's about 100x more useful than the Court's official site. In other words, my condolences to the 20something who presumably runs this handle, it's not your fault.
