In honor of Justice John Paul Stevens's passing, a thread on my favorite opinion of his: the dissent in Martin v. District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1, 4 (1992). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_v._District_of_Columbia_Court_of_Appeals … 1/

Especially at a time when the Court hears so few cases, and doesn't televise or allow live audio of arguments, it shouldn't be doing even more to hermetically seal itself off from the people. It should be open to all. 9/

Justice Stevens recognized that. And every time I see a cite to Martin in the back of the orders list, I regret not seeing his noted dissent. 10/10

I'm tagging (petitioning) a few folks in hopes of spreading this. I hope I don't get the Twitter equivalent of a Martin order in response!
