Why You Should Listen
Because our highest court is starting to sound less like a pillar of democracy and more like a mystic riddle machine.
Because if you’ve ever squinted at a Supreme Court ruling and thought, “Wait… did they just legalize that or vaporize it?”—you’re not alone.
This essay pulls back the velvet curtain (and the smoke machine) on how judicial ambiguity has become a tool of power. It compares today’s cryptic rulings to the ancient Oracle of Delphi—only instead of inhaling volcanic fumes, our justices are channeling the Founders through a Ouija board.
With biting humor, mythic parallels, and a dash of righteous fire, Trial by Oracle makes the case that the real danger isn’t just what the Court decides—but how vaguely it does so.
It’s funny. It’s furious. It’s unsettling.
And it just might help you make sense of the nonsense.
