I feel like nearly all of us who collected baseball cards in the 1980s and 1990s want our money back, which I suppose is just another way of saying that rich men always repeat their scams eventually Virtually every single card printed today will ultimately be *nearly* worthless — PolitiTweet.org

@RayHafner I am only surprised because media does explain it every time a situation like this arises, which is pretty regularly, but does such a poor job of it that most Americans come away not understanding the process. I am blaming media here, albeit artfully, rather than news consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeshiva University will win this case either 6-3 or 5-4. And if you don’t already see that writing on the wall, please don’t presume so quickly that the fault lies in this feed. I don’t know everything, but when I tweet I *am* doing so from my background: https://t.co/p7MdpV97pD — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, I have folks in the comments saying, no, this is OK because it was Sotomayor who made the decision! And: this is OK because it’s a Jewish school! No wonder we are completely screwed as a country. Long-term strategic thinking appears to be extinct except on the Right. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So yes, we have the bizarre situation of Sotomayor briefly having to carry water for Christian nationalists because some far-right Jews opened the door for the Christian nationalists on the Supreme Court to further advance Christian nationalism. Perhaps you see why I’m incensed. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

What my fellow Jews at Yeshiva have done is given the Gang of Five a dream opportunity to promote Christian nationalism—religious fascism—under the guise of aiding Jews. This has nothing to do with Judaism: not this case and not SCOTUS taking it. It’s about Christian nationalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@BerbachMarty Oh Jesus Christ, Marty, you think I don’t know that? The Gang of Five will rule for Yeshiva in order to benefit the Christian nationalists. Are you seriously this obtuse? I talk about Yeshiva being a Jewish university in the thread, and I know a *former professor* from there. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@Lebron62678998 No, it’s just that I know infinitely more about this subject than you do I’m sorry it hurts your little feelings not to know the most about everything in the world — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Sotomayor will eventually vote against Yeshiva University, whose actions I’m profoundly embarrassed about—and more than a little emotional about—as a Jew. But for now she must lay this case on the Court like an offering on a neofascist altar. It is this obscenity I’m angry about. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I don’t blame Sotomayor. In her shoes, I’d have felt forced to make the same decision. The tradition of the Court doesn’t allow a Justice in Sotomayor’s position to (as the case may be) issue a stay or decline to issue a stay contrary to the jurisprudence of the Court she is on. — PolitiTweet.org

Candidly, I’m surprised more people don’t know about the “four-vote rule” when an appeal comes before a Justice representing a region of the country. That Justice isn’t making a decision on the case based on their personal opinion. They’re making it based on the Court they’re on. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

If Sotomayor was a member of a responsible Court, she would have been able to act differently here. But she is well aware of who her coworkers are and what they want to do to this country and what cases they want to hear and the fact that she must continue to work alongside them. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And for those mentioning that Sotomayor was behind this order, remember that she’s charged with acting in good faith to allow a case before the Court if she has reason to believe at least four members of the Court would want to hear it. She is not making her own call on the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

If you know the Court well, you’ll probably be wondering why I hold Gorsuch in such contempt (beyond the fact that he lied to Congress). The answer is this: I’ve no respect for those who deceitfully cloak themselves in libertarianism to obscure their far-right authoritarian bent. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I know there are hundreds and hundreds of state and federal judges across the United States who are conservative but about whom I would not exude such public venom if they were properly seated on the SCOTUS. This Gang of Five, however, is quite simply a disgrace to my profession. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Clarence Thomas has earned impeachment. Gorsuch and Barrett were improperly seated—and both perjured themselves in their nomination processes. Kavanaugh is a serial sex pest who perjured himself dozens of times before Congress. And Samuel Alito is a Christian nationalist monster. — PolitiTweet.org
