Back in the day on Twitter, there was (and maybe still is, dunno) an account called "scotusblog" that posted summaries of current US Supreme Court decisions. I think it was a small law firm. Their replies were completely full of angry and indignant complaints, threats, and insults from people who assumed
- that they were the Court itself and;
- that tweeting at the Court would get them to change their decisions.
I understand now a little bit what that must have been like.
