“Trump administration a political defeat on the census, the four liberals justices unwittingly agreed to lay the groundwork for a new world in which agencies’ explanations receive strict judicial oversight”
Sure a political loss. But if this could expose the administrative state to losses in courts, individuals and states will benefit. It doesn’t really matter who is the chief executive in most instances when individual must contend with ruthless out of control police state agencies and bureaucracies. IRS, EPA, FBI, CMS, BLM, DEA, ATF abuse citizen rights every day. The regulations are enormous and no executive can know the details that destroy lives everyday.
Atlantic seemed to be unhappy that it was the liberals have given everyday conservatives a chance to attack corrupt federal agencies. But, I would imagine that the liberals on the court wanted the political win. If we can weaken the federal bureaucracies and the police state, let them have it.
I feel like a lot of people here didn’t bother to read the article, as evidenced by their just going off on tangents about John Roberts.
