it turns out there were a lot of institutions you could simply whine and buy your way into. this includes most of the legal academy and the press. these things were load bearing institutions for 20th century america
starting to feel like putting "does democracy still exist" exclusively in the hands of a profession that doesn't have any standards besides is your writing readable and do your arguments make sense to college students was an unwise idea
i feel like we have this dynamic where conservative constitutional “scholars” just like lie about the plain textual meaning of the reconstruction amendments while liberal scholars are doing the john ganz scrapbook tweet in response
