    So you’re saying that it’s the courts that are behaving incorrectly according to their role in the constitution? If so, that doesn’t change the underlying point I’m making here.

      I’m saying the courts are operating in bad faith and not even trying to hide it. You can’t write your way around someone willing to declare the sky is purple if it profits their friends.

        We’re saying the same thing. The government is not operating according to how the constitution says it’s supposed to be working.

          Except you’re blaming past congresses who absolutely operated inside their constitutional bounds. That is not the same thing because that would make any effective regulatory scheme impossible and give the courts a pass on their blatant corruption.

            I’m not “blaming” anyone. I’m describing what’s happening. The reason why it’s happening is irrelevant.

              Is this you?

              The problem is that it isn’t a law, it’s a regulation.

              … it really is just another example of how various parts of the US government have been ceding or delegating their responsibilities around willy-nilly in ways that weren’t constitutionally intended…

              Because that looks like blame to me, and being just plain wrong.

                Yes, that’s me, and it’s not blaming. It’s describing the problem. I’m not saying whether these things should be law or regulation or whatever, I’m explaining why these things are being overturned in court.

                I’m really baffled by what the point of this argument is. Are you trying to say that things are working as intended?

                  You are wrong about why. The court is lying. They are abusing their power to benefit their billionaire friends. Congress has the power to make the law, and they did make the law. The judiciary had no problem with that law for 90 years, and now suddenly it’s an issue?
