  • You should try to read one! Skim it, I mean.

    I haven’t read this opinion specifically (and some of this probably won’t apply), but generally:

    They explain all of the relevant procedural stuff in detail, and even justifying how things are being handled, with citations. Then the basics about what happened, the arguments on each side. Discuss the relevant laws and relevant edge cases. They will talk about new submissions to the court, and basically tell the story of what happened legally (there was a hearing on x date, defense submitted new evidence on y date etc). Then they sort through all the bullshit as judges, saying what’s accurate/a good argument and what’s not. Then write their actual opinion. 100 pages is pretty standard from the ones I’ve seen.



  • For anyone else wondering what the ruling was based on (other than trump being a narcissistic loser):

    In a 94-page opinion, the judge said the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees, made up of primarily Trump loyalists, violated the 1964 federal law that created the center, arguing the statute makes clear “the Kennedy Center must be named for, and is meant to honor, President Kennedy alone.”
