You seem to be under the impression that this generation of courts holds itself to a set of principles, rather than just motivated reasoning to do whatever they want. There will be no consistency. The Chevron decision will matter when they want it to and it won't when they don't.
- legitster 2y agoRespectfully disagree. I would argue that the court has been fairly consistent - in nearly every case they have sided against federal organizations in favor of states, with a couple of exceptions where they held constitutional questions. It is easily arguable that this court is more consistent than previous courts. Like them or not, decisions like Sebelius and Obergefell were based on much, much more wild interpretations of constitutionality ("legalistic argle-bargle") and were much more driven by a court using the ends to justify the means.
