    David Lat Retweeted Milan Markovic

    Feel free to also call out @ElieNYC and @JosephPatrice, my @ATLblog co-writers, for not serving as impartial observers and sounding like Democrats intent on defeating Kavanaugh. ;-)https://twitter.com/ProfMarkovic/status/1040319406444892160 …

    David Lat added,

    Milan Markovic @ProfMarkovic
    I respect @DavidLat enormously, but he should sit this one out. He is starting to sound like Kavanaugh's lawyer and not an impartial observer / commentator. #KavanaughConfirmation https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1040316071608238080 …

        People on both sides ought to stop for a moment and ask themselves seriously if these twitter battles do anything other than destroy what little respect is left for #SCOTUS

        I think this is a fair point, though one wonders what respect #SCOTUS deservedly maintains point Bush v. Gore. That was a body blow for the "apolitical branch" myth. Putting that toothpaste back in the tube may not be productive.

        Replying to @JosephPatrice @Chisox48 and

        We can argue about what should have happened in Bush v. Gore, but I absolutely agree with @JosephPatrice that it was terrible for the standing of #SCOTUS (& you can see this in the Court's approval ratings). But I also agree re: the difficulty of going back.

        Well, except for the fact that my biases do not prevent me from chasing stories that o know to be true or refusing to divulge what I know about the nominees and organizations involved, as yours do.

        An impartial observer would certainly ask what is hidden in withheld documents, no?

        What's the risk that all this accomplishes is it makes Justice Kavanaugh as angry over the next 30 years as Justice Thomas?
