  You’d think so… but our two tier justice system just let Trump cut his bail requirement in a third because “it so hawwwd”. Never underestimate how stuffed with corporate toadies our justice system is.

    There’s a right wing seminar of economics that they invite and “educate” supreme Court justices on how economics works. Well their ideology of economics anyway. Don’t recall if it was a one time thing back then or ongoing but holy cow.

      You don’t even need something so explicit - justices regularly rub elbows with billionaires and are pretty clearly influenced by the association.

      We need something like Discworld’s unseen university where they can just be academics locked away from public discourse and celebrity - being a Supreme Court Justice should be an obscure dead-end of a job that only appeals to the legally obsessed.

      Anyone not familiar with this, NPR Planet Money has a great podcast about this.

      Tldr: right wing economists teach judges why trickle down economics is good and poor people are stupid.
