Willis’ partial list of this courts achievements does not include a procedural invention that allows it to meddle in whatever it wants to. The court summoned out of thin air the “major questions doctrine,” which really should be called the “shit that bugs me doctrine.” Student loan forgiveness? Well, that bugs me, so I’ll trash it with no legal standard and then void it. I grew up listening to endless complaints about activist judges. These judges invented a “doctrine” that empowers them to intrude into anything they decide is a major question.

You can always count on conservatives who’ve failed to maintain their guise of “traditional credibility” to deliver self-congratulatory facsimiles of an apology. At least Isgur learned her lesson about not lending credibility to extremist, authoritarian organizations… lol
