SCOTUS flunks Separation of Powers again
Supposedly only Congress has the power to abolish the Department of Education
This is the result by the majority Supreme Court’s expansion of presidential power and a Congress who long ago failed to uphold its constitutional oath of office.
Steve Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown University, is quoted in the Economist that there is “no rhyme or reason” in these rulings other than “enabling lawless behaviour by the Trump administration”. Vladeck has a substack about the U.S. Supreme Court I recommend following.
Also, note how the court seems to have different attitudes about ruling procedures between now and, for example, three years ago. Now, these emergency rulings zoom right out. Before, rulings were slow walked, to say the least.
Brilliant drawing. Stunningly to the point.
