I think it's absolutely crazy how Rian Johnson is still the scapegoat whom people blame for Luke's exile in this trilogy considering: a) This is how the opening crawl of 'The Force Awakens' starts. b) Michael Arndt & every other writer working on TFA could not figure out how to include Luke in this story without overshadowing the other characters, so they chose to only introduce him at the end of the story. c) Han gives a pretty clear explanation for what happened with Luke's Jedi Academy, i.e. Ben Solo fell to the dark side and "turned against him and destroyed it all" (direct quote!). Because of this, "Luke felt responsible and walked away from everything." There are people who still insist Luke should have been doing something active in his exile, like fighting some ancient evil or looking for something that could help restore balance in the force, but that would completely go against what 'The Force Awakens' set up. Luke felt responsible fo Ben's fall and the death of his students. He left for that exact reason and *nothing* else. J.J. Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt made this narrative decision. Rian Johnson only followed through with it. He is not at fault for Luke's place in the Sequel Trilogy.

I'm bored and I'm sick, so fuck it: Sequel Trilogy rewatch.

Scott MacFarlane reports that momentum is growing in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Johnny Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court. “Only 22% of Americans have confidence in the Supreme Court, and 78% want to see term limits implemented,” Olszewski said. The push comes amid growing concerns over ethics issues, controversial rulings, and the Court’s increasingly partisan image.

Chuck Schumer, 2007: "Given the track record of this president, and the experience of obfuscation at hearings, with respect to the Supreme Court at least, I will recommend to my colleagues that we should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court except in extraordinary circumstances."
