"Yep, there goes ‘the rule of law’."

We have reached the stage where the law means whatever the powerful say the law is whenever they say it. The SC is just the window dressing on the acts of a tyrannical government and the total empowerment of the IRS to do whatever it wishes.

I just read the syllabus of KING ET AL. v. BURWELL and you are so right. The last paragraph of it starts by reading:
