In general, I don't find unified personifications of groups of disagreeing humans to be very illuminating. Do you have any evidence this particular ruling is a coordinated action by the justices of the Supreme Court to communicate anything beyond their explicit decision to anyone? Or are you just speculating?
- sandworm101 8y agoYou seriously think that the various branches of the US government aren't in a constant power struggle? Such conflict underpins the very American concept of checks and balances. As I said in another post: This isn't about allowing people to gamble or not. This is isn't even about deciding who has the power to regulate gambling as both levels of government can if they want. This is the court reminding everyone who gets to referee in this game.
