(Did the Hawaiian Supreme Court use ChatGPT to write this opinion?)
Calls Roberts Court racist, treats Landmark Rulings as “White Noise,” declares itself beyond Federal instruction.
The radical left-wing takeover of our judiciary has reached a terrifying new low.
In a shocking and utterly unhinged ruling issued on Wednesday, the Hawaii Supreme Court has launched a direct, disgraceful assault on the United States Supreme Court.
About 72 pages into a decision about certain post-conviction review rights under the Hawaii constitution, the Hawaii Supreme Court shifts its attention to Chief Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court. It starts by accusing the Supremes of "not honoring" the Civil Rights era / 1954.
Next up, the Hawaii Supreme Court explains that federal due process rights "keep sinking" so they'll take "no guidance" from federal cases. And here is where the attacks go from odd to deranged. Accusing the Supreme Court of "imperious ideology", it goes to other areas of law.
"The Roberts Court did what Congress never would. It rewrote the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a cornerstone of American civil rights, democratically enacted and repeatedly reauthorized." Citing Shelby County, Brnovich, and Callais, it says: "Pretend law for a deal statute."
"The Roberts Court sees only white." The Hawaii Supreme Court follows with more Callais and Allen v. Milligan to accuse the Supreme Court of racism. It accused the Supremes of misinterpreting the Equal Protection Clause. I'm unpersuaded. Not colorblind but "white sight". Ok!
Now election finance and redistricting. Citizens United, Rucho v Common cause, Presidential immunity, and a recent (minor) election spending case. It's like they put their least favorite cases into Claude and asked it to spit something out. (Semi-seruious, lots of LLM "tells")
Now for the page revealing the cause is the tantrum. Wolford v. Lopez and Hawaii's attempt to evade the Second Amendment. It was stymied. These justices are not happy. In a spoke word-poem style list of grievances, they attack the Supreme Court's recent jurisprudence. Wild!
And despite that being the logical end of this judicial tantrum, the Court continues further. They cannot let anything go. This is Festivus (Hawaii style). Who is the audience for this? Podcasts? The New York Times? Certainly not the Supreme Court or other judges. Weird stuff.
Read the whole opinion here (or don't, I have included pretty much the whole section that involves attacking the Court):
