Every year when the Supreme Court gets ready to hand down important decisions, people start tweeting frantically at $4, which many believe is the official Twitter account of the Supreme Court.
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 $4
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.

The blog also took the time to correct misinformed users incensed by the possibility that the court could overturn a key part of the Affordable Care Act that allows the federal government to grant healthcare subsides to low-income Americans.
Asswipes actually not subsidized MT $4 I hope $4 derail $4 so the ass wipes in $4 lose their subsidies!
SCOTUSblog claimed some credit for controversial Supreme Court decisions, including the controversial Citizens United ruling that vastly expanded political spending.
