By some modern miracle, Vox’s Ian Millhiser has managed to parlay all of his staggering legal and judicial ignorance into a successful career as an expert on legal and judicial matters. And more power to him! Not just anyone can do something like that.
Well, given all the buzz surrounding the Supreme Court lately, it’s only natural that Ian Millhiser would have some things to say about it. And it’s only natural that anything Ian Millhiser has to say about it would be really, really stupid.
And so, without further ado, here’s Millhouse’s message to any law professor out there who believes that the Supreme Court is well within the scope of what the Supreme Court’s role is in the American system of government:
If you are a law professor who is inclined to defend the Supreme Court of the United States as an institution, consider that this may not be your moment.

Why not, Ian? Is it because you’re an aspiring fascist and absolutely hate the idea of the Constitution and believe that Americans can only be really and truly free if they’re being ruled over by leftist overlords? If we had to take a guess, that would be it.
The perfect tweet. https://t.co/uKM5DbCvuI

It’s definitely the perfect Ian Millhiser tweet: it’s supposed to come off as witty and biting and profound but instead just lets his moth-ridden authoritarian mask slip even further off of his stupid little face.
👆 @imillhiser: “SCOTUS is only legitimate when the Court rules the way I like.”

Yes, what the legal academy definitely needs now is *checks notes* to double down on an echo-chamber of leftist groupthink. https://t.co/sA1oXBpcpH

That is what Ian Millhiser genuinely believes in his heart: that the only law professors worth a damn are the ones who don’t understand the law.
If you are a law professor who judges the Supreme Court as an institution based on whether its decisions align with your ideology, consider shutting up.

That also goes for Vox legal “experts.”
If you claim to be a journalist and spout nonsensical fear mongering because you only care about carrying water for your team instead of the truth, maybe sit this one out.

Exactly.
I think you should seethe even harder.
— J.G. Petruna (@jgpetruna) July 1, 2022
Seethe and expose yourself as the wannabe dictator that you are.
A general rule of thumb is that you’re on the right track if this troglodytic nutjob is upset.
He loses his damn mind when institutions function the way they’re built to function because it inconveniences him. https://t.co/yylzPMuXbF

That’s our Millhouse!
Dumb take from the king of dumb takes on this horrific garbage site.

Take a bow, Ian Millhiser. You’ve done it again.
