Over the years, the STEM professional in me has become increasingly intrigued by the ways in which law progresses because it is so fundamentally different from my preferred method of making sense of the world.

Within that, and with my incredibly limited understanding of how law evolves in the courts...it seems like Thomas says demonstrably incorrect things more frequently than I am comfortable with.

Interesting. In my very limited understanding I have a very opposite view, specifically around Justice Thomas.

If you read pdonis’s reply to your parent, you will see that Thomas was rather correct in the way law should have applied in this case. I find that in the limited few of few cases I have read , I politically like the judgement made but I identify more with how Thomas thought about the case.

Really fascinated by the American legal system. In some ways really elegant and so much better than the legal system in my own country.
