This is only applicable if you are under illusion that the majority of SCOTUS cares about coherence and internal consistency. Sandra Day O’Connor showed where this was going when she reversed her concurrence on Bowers v. Hardwick in the Lawrence v. Texas case. Kennedy finished it when he determined that anyone can determine his own reality.

We are down the rabbit hole.

This is predicated on a desire to consistently apply the law. I have seen no evidence of that whatsoever from Roberts.

I’m not going to hold my breath with this lousy court...so far all of Roberts’ so-called poison pills have turned out to be nothing more sour tart candy.

All Roberts or his successor has to say about climate change regulation is, “Since the science is settled, it’s not a political issue. It might allow the EPA to wreck the economy, but it’s just science, not politics. And please don’t publish those pictures of me with the [fill in the blank].”

Then this case doesn’t hurt EPA at all.

I *was* wondering whether Roberts sided with the leftists on that ruling precisely so he could write the opinion and slide in some precedent that could be used against the left. It was a lost cause on the issue at hand once Kennedy decided to go with the left. And this may have been the point of his choosing to write the opinion. Of course, I’m not sure shifting power from the executive to the courts is a good thing, particularly when the power in question, according to the plain meaning of the Constitution is supposed to rest with Congress.

It may be off course but 6 of the Supreme Court are communists liberals. Yes, that included Roberts. The violated their oath of office and made a joke of our Constitution.
