Eric Segall, Dorf on Law - "Whether it is ending affirmative action, invalidating gun laws, or over-supervising Congress’s authority to delegate power to the Executive, the Justices of the Roberts Court, like those who served on all the Supreme Courts before it, have played an oversized and dangerous role in our politics and our country by acting much more like legislators than judges. To put it bluntly, the Court is not a court, and its justices are not judges. dorfonlaw.org/2024/12/why-supr #SCOTUS

@bespacific that gets it backwards, though.

It's not that the Court is acting as legislators, but rather refusing to act as legislators supporting legislation they prefer.

They say regardless of whether some action is good or bad, that's not for us to decide, we must look at the laws already on the books and insist that the actual legislators legislate.
