I was just sittin here workin on an article, heard this, and looked up like lol well damn

this goes to the bigger issue of SenateBrain, that it's a rarefied club with rules and subtleties to complex for us non-senators to understand and what the senate should do is above voters and non-senators pay grade. that attitude is the kernel problem.

I appreciate that KBJ just brought up the point I made here like, 'isn't the law at issue here one of the few avenues incarcerated people even have to get any relief at all?'

(I still have some feelings about her stay in the SNAP case the other day but credit when due)

what's so crazy-making about this oral argument (which I'll write about when it's done) is that the GOP justices are saying 'yes the officials knew they were violating his rights, but they didn't know they could be *sued and have to pay $$ for that, seems unfair'

over the past hour, though, the Court's conservatives have been sounding pretty comfortable with leaving Damon Landor and other people in his position without any recourse when prison officials literally treat explicit legal protections like garbage

I wasn't sure how they justices would come down bc they love violating incarcerated peoples' rights but also love expanding religious rights

otoh this guy's not their preferred religion; but also it'd give them another tool in their fight for Christian supremacy
