No, because I think FIFA has a more common sense definition of who is an American, probably, and the Olympic Committee, a more common sense definition of who is an American than the Supreme Court's interpretation as it stands today of the 14th Amendment.
Well, when I was a law clerk on the Supreme Court 100 years ago, it was an all-male court.
And there was plenty of emotion, but they hid it.
They would go from chamber to chamber and Justice Douglas would sometimes scream at people.
Justice Black would scream at people.
It was a lot of emotion, but they kept it under wraps and the public didn't see it.
We law clerks saw it.
the public didn't see it.
You may be right that women on the court are more willing to be honest about showing their emotions when they feel it very strongly.
And the question really is, when you put a robe on, are you really essentially denying your right to show your emotions?
You know, the reason that British judges wear wigs and look identical
especially they used to look identical because they were all men and they were all white, was to demonstrate that they are not subject to emotion, that the law is kind of an objective reality that isn't influenced by the personalities.
You know, legal realism has shown for years that, of course, judges are human beings and they're influenced by what they had for breakfast and their arguments with their spouses and all of those things.
The question is how much of that
should show in the chambers of the Supreme Court.
And that's a fair argument to make.
