Major questions doctrine is pretty stupid too given it feels like they invented it purely to get out of situations where textualism goes in the opposite direction that they want to rule.
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoI think the idea is reasonable but it's true they mainly apply it when it's convenient. If you delegate authority, your agent shouldn't overstep the implicit role you have given them. For example if you hire a plumber to "fix your sink" and then you come back and he's replaced all your pipes and billed you $10,000 then you would be rightly angry that he didn't get approval for that additional work even if he says that it was part of fixing the sink.
