If that really is a good summary of the counterargument, then it shows how weak it is, and why it didn't carry the day.

I did find Jackson's perspective to be pretty naive, misunderstanding the role of a court in the legal system, and in the country, overestimating the power it might have to dictate things to the whole society.

But let-them-eat-cake really underscored it: this isn't about eating cake, that's not the question, this is about ending the taking of cake from people.

After all, and this might be news to Jackson, SCOTUS can only rule in the face of actual harm. It has no authority to distribute cake.
