Theres a 1/4th chance that in my law class, Im going to hear (and argue myself) for/against trans discrimination in the workplace. I think hearing two other cis people talk about my fucking rights might blow a fuse in me. Esp when theres going to be half of the people arguing for it. Theres even a chance I have to argue for my own discrimination ;-; I really hope the teacher picks a VERY different case pleaseeeee.

      I dunno though, as profCat hints at above, there have been multiple cases since Bostock that muddy the waters on the juris prudence, Mahmoud V. Taylor / Skremetti / and fuck you fuck fuck I just read the news about Chile v Salazar…

      Shit has turned hard since Bostock is all I’m saying, and they have never successfully cited Bostock as precedent … so they have been narrowing it repeatedly.

      Is the assignment to argue the case again in 2026 or re-argue it in 2020?

        I haven’t done any research on it yet (there’s a chance it’s not the case we’re working on), however I really appreciate you sending all of this!! It’s a very good jumping off point. Thanks so much

        Are you also interested in law?

          I began listening to the SCOTUS cases live in 2020 when they first started broadcasting them, to be fair with a 5-4 court the arguments made were regularly of better quality and complexity than they are now with 6-3 where they don’t even seem to feign caring anymore about logical consistency and precedent…

          KBJ has been an incredibly important addition I think just because she really has a way of starting and ending with one refutation that is explained in very stark terms over and over again, which I think is effective for highlighting how ludicrous people like Alito and Thomas AND ROBERTS (I fucking hate when this dude gets a pass, 'Major Questions Doctrine" can go fuck itself) arguments have really become and how devoid from good faith they make rulings.

          Not a lawyer and never will be at this point in my life, but I feel like the court has been flying under the radar by moving in the shadow of the absurd Congress - but theirs is an explicit 50 year project to roll back the clock on society and legitimize the imperial presidency, and they are doing a pretty good job of it unfortunately 🙃
