Very interesting thoughts on the Supreme Court and immunity. These last few years have really driven home a point for me. A system - no matter how well-designed - is only as good as the people running it. I think we have a people problem. If even the Supreme Court cannot have a discussion that matches what one can find in a Substack article, it doesn't bode well for the other institutions. I may be misremembering, but I think I remember more of our leaders actually leading in the past, as opposed to asking 1st year college student questions and generally acting like uninformed, petulant teenagers.

Also, we don’t have a gun problem, we have a people problem.

Most of our "gun problem" is really a psychiatric medication problem and a culture problem with a particular culture that is tied to urban environments. Of course if we had better people running our system, these problems would be addressed. Instead of addressing them, they amplify the problems.
