I’m a huge fan of SCOTUS Blog. As a journalist and a lawyer, I find their up-to-the-minute reporting on the Supreme Court’s doings, from arguments to opinions, and their in-depth reporting, to be essential. But I also know that they are not the actual Supreme Court.
This apparently, makes me somewhat unique as the SCOTUS Blog Twitter showed today in a fun tweet storm responding to just a few of the thousands of tweets they get every day berating them for decisions they did not make, only reported on.
Lucky for us, the people running the Twitter showed that they have a great sense of humor. Even after getting attacks from the left …

Because they are faster, more detail-oriented, constructive, and just plain smarter. Usual reasons. Our turn. Why do you hate twitter bios? https://t.co/Xdc2h4hxFM

Fair point. In fact, two things absolutely must be read. First, the Constitution. Second, the Twitter bio. https://t.co/tLCnhXO55j

We even got some hints as to who SCOTUSBlog “Really” is! (Hint, NOT THE SUPREME COURT)

Actually, by “not making a decision,” we’re following the Constitution. Impersonating a federal officer (maybe even a federal twitter account) is a crime. https://t.co/psVc9IEsqw
