[Justice Ketanji Brown] Jackson labeled this decision “Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist.” Calvinball, an ever-changing game featured in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, “has only one rule: There are no fixed rules.” In this Court, Jackson continued, there are two: The rules always change, and “this Administration always wins.”…
