Coleman won the 'Slants' case at SCOTUS, so he's the real thing.

Arguing a case in front of SCOTUS still means something today?
It still is but current SCOTUS of US has lost a lot of credibility in essentially making Presidents 4 to 8 year kings who can't be sued or charged with a crime. There are other things like the newer judges lying while under oath that they weren't joining up to end decisions on civil rights and ending abortion as a basic right.
As a layman, I thought that was a bit of a prestige deal. Is it not?
Some would say it has lately become a bit of a kangaroo court.
Put enough money into the right-wing hands and anything is possible
