Did you bother to even read the court’s opinion? Didn’t think so.

Justice Thomas is in the majority for the simple reason that the case turns on statutory interpretation, and the majority, for once, interpreted the law as written, and did not rewrite the law to support a political or philosophical agenda. This should be a seen as a victory for conservatism, even if the result is undesirable.

Correct. The law states how the bureaucracy shall operate in this case, it didn’t, he can’t be punished just because the bureaucracy screwed up.

Douglas Adams described such well:

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.’”

THAT is what SCOTUS just disallowed.

LOL. No such thing exists. There are no moral victories to be had when facing a one party fascist government.
