This framing isn't good, Chris. Nobody needs to lie to me to know that a 9-0 decision on the Title IX question helps the goal of the elimination of a population. I appreciate the work you put in to cover the Court, but I think we can reasonably disagree on what needed to be done, here.

Alito and Thomas wouldn't have joined on a decision they fundamentally disagreed with, even if they invent new law or terrible historical readings to do so. Upholding the integrity of an institution without remaining integrity by agreeing to do some genocide on a technicality misreads the moment.

KBJ, similarly, can perform fine legal scholarship in her dissent, and simultaneously still miss the mark as her representative of the interpretation of the Constitution and law. While she could not have changed the outcome, she does not appear to respect the gravity of this conservative project.
