You just don't like that it is a real controversy. It is before the Supreme Court.
- judge2020 3y agoAnyone can bring a lawsuit and appeal to SCOTUS, with its panel deciding which cases to take. You're living in an illusion if you genuinely think the Supreme Court is not political in nature.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoNobody was arguing the Supreme Court isn't political. The argument is that it's ridiculous to say "it's not a real controversy" when the Supreme Court has agreed to take the case, and a federal appeals court has already ruled against the government.
- phmqk76 3y agoIt’s not a real controversy in the sense that you actually understood what I meant, but chose to be obtuse and act as if you didn’t. Apply that same logic to the Supreme Court - this is an area of extremely well-settled law. The only controversy is that the far-right Supreme Court seems an opportunity to decimate the administrative state and invents a so-called legal controversy to achieve that aim.
