justice kavanaugh is surprisingly good at explicitly highlighting cruxes, namely, hypotheticals not very distant from our own reality in which under the advocate's own argument, said advocate must lose. i wish i saw more of that!

#the current supreme court lineup is *really* good at producing interesting questions #hell jackson would be a straightforward improvement on breyer if she didn't share the sotomayor/alito thing of trying to skewer the #opposition when she thinks she can; she lacks former justice breyer's warm-heartedness and merriment #i remember one case in his last year when alito was trying to pose a question and the advocate kept fighting the hypo and alito #really kept going at it; after a few minutes breyer stepped in and concocted one of his elaborate nonsensical questions and asked #alito if this captured his point; and alito choking back laughter said yes and even the advocate thought it was pretty funny #the current court is too aggro but i don't mind it as much; i just wish jackson would cut down on the length of her questions if she's not #going to be making everyone's lives so much better like breyer did; novel-length questions they may have been
