Outside of Thomas, of course.

Was listening in the shower, and kept rolling my eyes. A lot of the topics they're discussing aren't something judges are equipped to make decisions about. Coney Barrett got into FDA approval processes and it sounded like she googled half an article right before the hearing.

I really do enjoy Justice Jackson. No matter what's going on, she punches right to the point. It felt like she was thisclose to saying, "You know this is all bullshit" when she was discussing the retracted studies.
