    I like etymology and looking things up. But I don’t think I even did a quickie google of the judge/justice use of “concurrence” because legal shit can be so tedious.

    TIL - there’s something even more lib than a “withering dissent”. A “sharp concurrence” is the most lib thing possible. I thought a concurring opinion might be complicated. Nope. It’s very simple.

    Concurring opinion

    In law, a concurring opinion is in certain legal systems a written opinion by one or more judges of a court which agrees with the decision made by the majority of the court, but states different (or additional) reasons as the basis for their decision.
