No, the piece gets it EXACTLY backwards. It's BECAUSE of what Congress wrote that the rulings came down that way.

The rulings where emphatically saying that the other branches could not ignore Congress.

The piece seems to admit that "technically" Congress wrote this law. Well, yeah. It Congress's technicalities aren't to be ignored.

This perl clutching is antisocial. The SCOTUS says Congress can't be ignored, and so we need to elect better congresspeople who fix the laws that the SCOTUS is deferring to.

Congress wrote these laws, not the Supreme Court, which is insisting on democracy, even if democracy keeps giving us crappy lawmakers.
