Liberal jurisprudence of the "just calling balls and strikes" variety is utterly useless at a time when the laws are being written by fascists and the six Republican justices on the SCOTUS just make up whatever they want.

Democratic dissents are likewise worthless; no matter how eloquently written, they don't count for anything. If they're going to be performative about this shit, they might as well use it for good instead of conceding the point to fascists.

There is no point conceding 9-0 that Title IX doesn't protect trans people.
Even in a technical sense, if the plaintiff is forced to concede the argument in that specific case, you say, "But this would win on the merits otherwise because trans women are women and Title IX protects them."
These justices are sellouts.

@gwynnion Yet another example of why we can't trust liberals.
