NEW: The 2016 Supreme Court memos and the mess that John Roberts has made of his court.

The New York Times scoop about the Clean Power Plan case SCOTUS memos highlights the conservative justices' brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

'Most important speech...that should never have been given’: Fmr Judge pans SCOTUS justice's remarks At a recent event, the conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a grievance-soaked address that argued that progressivism is incompatible with the Declaration of Independence. Former federal judge J. Michael Luttig, a lifelong conservative himself, took issue with the address. “I believe that this speech could prove to be the single most important speech of political and constitutional philosophy that should never have been given,” he tells Ali Velshi. “I certainly wish Justice Thomas had not written and given this speech.”

and in what conditions and what dexterity does it feature etc.

i don’t agree with that take entirely. but i think it was a tasteless way to demo a bipedal robot.
