The conflict of interest was so glaring, it should have required an acknowledgement in their bios.
"This commentator's law school boasts about its SCOTUS clerkships, and profs take pride in `placing' ppl. They will thus be unwilling to bite the hand that feeds them. Judge these takes accordingly."
Congrats to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope you placed your students in some nice clerkships.
Here's a rare chance for accountability in the punditocracy.
Will all the people who praised Kav, Gorsuch, Roberts, et al *from the left* still get their takes published next year? Or will there actually be some real costs to such argument.
(I'd obv bet on the former, but one can hope.)
