Kagan screamed it from the rooftops, but...crickets. And there is no one at DOJ left to help. Not everything can be taught in high school. Certainly not Constitutional Law. That being said, a grounding in civics would open the door to understanding lawyer speak
Hell, most people cannot read AND understand the financial, privacy or medical forms they are asked to sign, much less a contractual agreement. Just click that pesky box(es) and poof!
I've sat in bank waiting rooms, and listened to the bitching and moaning over having to take time from work over the purchase or sale of a home! We aren't talking chump change here. 500k? And they have no idea what they are doing or care. Just whining over the freaking commission.
There was a time, long ago, where the loan officer sat with you, acted as a fiduciary should, and spelled out everything. The good, and the bad. Now it's "how much do you WANT", instead of NEED. Let's get this party started. But I have digressed too far. Sorry for the rant.
But in the end what this action really does is make the court irrelevant. Because a Unitarian Executive yields so much power, that he or she can ignore the courts rulings the executive branch doesn’t like.
So essentially, this court and lower courts will have been muted by this courts own shortsightedness.
It might seem to read that way, but the opposite it often the reality. The original rulings were to a SOE. Courts almost always cede authority to the executive in such situations. That is why various, mostly manufactured, SOE came so fast and furious in the first weeks of this Presidency. 8 I believe. All were/are temporary measures. All taken before the Court and almost all approved. This is also often the case with the shadow docket. Often the executive will be given broad leeway. However, every single one of those suits will be or has been argued in open session. And the administration has not done well in those.(~32%) One where the administration may prevail is on the VRA. That does have a good chance of being struck down, mostly because of the way the law was written. ( Part of the problem the Legislature has to focus on and correct are anticipating ramifications while looking forwards, rather than correcting errors of the past. The same when trying to legislate morality.) When the final ruling comes down, SCOTUS primacy in such matters is there if not always apparent. One only read the dissents. Alarms are being rung, sometimes quite loudly and vociferously.
Finally, someone with a larger following has caught on, and explained the core issue in simpler terms. SCOTUS has quietly and cleanly set themselves up, quite brilliantly, as THE RULING BRANCH of government. Roberts, et al, are no fools, they just needed the correct case to present itself before them. It had nothing to do with Trump, per se, but needed for the Powers behind the Throne, the PBT, to offer up a sacrificial lamb the Court could accept and then be able to secure their ascendancy. The Legislative and the Executive branches obliged.
From that defining moment forward, anything and everything any branch tries to accomplish, will have to pass judicial review. And this is a relatively young Court. This has been lately and will continue to be SOP for years to come.
Many in the judiciary saw this coming. The resignations, the petitions, the statements of our constitutional attorneys and scholars were warning signals of what would come to pass and are well aware of what has occurred. We didn't listen. And have no power to effect change.
To me, the worst thing about this decision was the presumption that federal prosecutors would always be corrupt but no president would ever be. And they made that determination while the most corrupt president ever was in office.
This is why I believe the decision had nothing to do with constitutional authority or the balance of powers. It had to do with John Roberts’s hatred of the “secular left.”
So, in other words, the SCOTUS just crapped and wiped itself on the Constitution!
Bribery of the Justices should have been nipped in the bud as soon as it was discovered.

Rant all you want. I have ranted many times and although it never has changed anything, at least someone heard me and I felt better for it. :)
Thanks, kind of you to mention.

SCOTUS is going down 👇 just like Trump

That traitor will not be remembered like he thinks he will! He shit in his own best!
You all remember when a justice named Kennedy stepped down? Do you remember why?
