    That guy’s understanding of the law is so absurdly bad. I swear my cat would be a more coherent and objective supreme court justice than Alito.

      Trollito is the judge the cons are projecting about when they squeal about “judicial activism”, because that guy is quite possibly one of the very most activist of activist judges I’ve ever seen. Although Clarence is up there, too, of course.

        Uncle Clarence was and is reliably “activist” (no reliable judicial philosophy except pro-conservative politics and fuck the poors and liberals. like he’s explicitly said it in public speeches) voting, but authored relatively few authored opinions until the recent conservative supermajority. I mean like none.

      wait, whatever bullshit they threw chevron out under states they don’t have broad authority to anything, right? no federal agency does. they only get narrow authority.

      only congress, the courts, and krasnov get broad authority
