People keep mistaking this blog's Twitter account for the Supreme Court - and its responses are hilarious
There's one problem: the Supreme Court doesn't have an official Twitter account, and the impassioned Twitter users are tweeting at a blog that has no affiliation with the Supreme Court.
But instead of tuning out the misplaced tweets, SCOTUSblog- a popular legal blog that covers the court - is hilariously sending comebacks to the most ridiculous tweets.
It's a tradition. Trolls bless us with insights they actually intend to send to the Justices. And we helpfully respond. Let it begin.

The blog sarcastically responded to numerous passionate tweets that appeared to be directed at the high court.
On Monday, SCOTUSblog waded right into a host of controversial issues from the past several court terms, and subtly reminded tweeters that it is not the Supreme Court.

Finally, the blog reminded people repeatedly that it is still not the Supreme Court.
