    One of the better @mattyglesias obsessions: The 2009 consensus by liberal legal pundits that Sotomayor wasn't smart enough to be on SCOTUS. Totally memory-holed, though the same pundits are probably ready to it again if KBJ gets nominated. https://www.slowboring.com/p/whats-the-matter-with-stephen-breyer …pic.twitter.com/EI6BO0r2TQ

        Yes, but those were natural questions to ask of someone who went to Princeton and Yale. KBJ is all Harvard.

        Law profs are self-interested in someone having a complex and hard to suss out legal viewpoint for what should be obvious reasons.

        We live in a world where liberal lawyers really want to see diversity, but then endorse guys like Gorsuch.

        She is in fact the smartest justice in the sense of reliably reaching the correct conclusions. As a fancy lawyer, I’m continually amazed at other fancy lawyers’ willingness to ignore this key metric when assessing someone’s intelligence.

        Gorsuch came to the correct conclusion in 2 recent cases for idiosyncratic reasons. In other words: he’s a genius.

        This. Sotomayor is my favorite SCOTUS because she has the less traditional path to SCOTUS and yes, empathy & *pragmatic* effects of rulings. One of the problems in Americans' laws/ideology is everything is debated on extremes without consideration of realities on the ground.

        Sandra Day O'Conner had a good judicial philosophy, for same reason. (One or two terrible votes aside)
