Maybe through experience, they know the schedule jimfields33 Jun 2024 #4

Very generous of you NoRethugFriends Jun 2024 #7

It's not hard when they've been doing this for decades. jimfields33 Jun 2024 #19

good grief. they know what the rethugs on the court are doing NoRethugFriends Jun 2024 #21

I think they see their roll as writing reasoned dissents when they disagree. I would not be surprised if one of them Silent Type Jun 2024 #5

Why are you making excuses for them? triron Jun 2024 #46

Very well said! H2O Man Jun 2024 #59

Protocol? As I've said, when did ethics govern this Court? Goodheart Jun 2024 #33

Perhaps OUR side wishes to keep the sanctity of the court. yagotme Jun 2024 #43

Yep triron Jun 2024 #49

If there's a "protocol" is it public? Or, just like their internal ethics, is it cloaked? erronis Jun 2024 #53

Sotomayor hinted that she cried over some of the rulings coming down. I think it's kick the can. TheBlackAdder Jun 2024 #10

She needs to stop crying in private and do the right thing. Irish_Dem Jun 2024 #15

She is doing the right thing. former9thward Jun 2024 #18

The right thing is what she's doing right now n/t Polybius Jun 2024 #27

I can't imagine any positive impact of such a move Raven123 Jun 2024 #11

It would let the public know the whole team is not corrupt. Irish_Dem Jun 2024 #16

They can say the same in their written opinions Raven123 Jun 2024 #31

Their written opinions are meaningless and do nothing. Irish_Dem Jun 2024 #32

High time that it IS done. Goodheart Jun 2024 #35

Silence is complicity. Irish_Dem Jun 2024 #14

could be a matter of protocol. could be because they also aren't ready for the decision to come out. onenote Jun 2024 #17

None of which would have prevented any of them from the very beginning publicly proclaiming Goodheart Jun 2024 #36

Except, and none of us know, they may have voted to take the case. onenote Jun 2024 #40

I'd rather keep the focus on the 6 problem Joinfortmill Jun 2024 #20

Collegiality Bucky Jun 2024 #23

Is there anything to gain from, say, Jamie Raskin publicly criticizing Jim Jordan? Goodheart Jun 2024 #37

Raskin can fundraise and get votes in the upcoming election NT AZSkiffyGeek Jun 2024 #55

Of course Bucky Jun 2024 #61

Yes, of course. That's my point. There's also much to gain Goodheart Jun 2024 #62

Maybe they don't think there's an unnecessary delay? Kaleva Jun 2024 #39

pretty useless DoBW Jun 2024 #41

I don't think that they would do that publicly Mad_Machine76 Jun 2024 #45

It's an elite club, and we're not in it. budkin Jun 2024 #54
