I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

COVID wasn’t enough. Now we threaten our allies, disappear people to torture prisons, tariff pharmaceuticals, cut social programs supporting elderly, kids, and disabled, encourage measles spread, and add fire to global warming. We don’t have a leader. We have a serial killer.
