It isn't enough to examine 'what' this Court rules. Examining the 'why' will often be more instructive.

  Agreed. When you look at the Court's rulings in aggregate—including the ones that don't make headlines because they're not controversial—it's clear that they have a very specific agenda: they want the branches of government to go back to doing what every civics class claims they do. For this Court, the Legislative branch is meant to write laws, the Executive branch is meant to enforce them, and the Judicial branch is meant to interpret them. They've very consistently rolled back cases where the Judicial or Executive overstepped and started writing laws on their own. So as for the why: they really seem to sincerely believe that government will work better when the branches stay in their lanes.

    You know, that sounds great and comforting. But the Republican majority house managed something like 19 bills last year. Combined with a decades long trend of giving up power (1941 was the last declaration of war) I'm not sure what you're saying is anything more than comforting fairy tales
