Like a prior SCOTUS did with Brown v Board of Education, which was a very good overturning of precedent?

SCOTUS has been liberal since the FDR days. The pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction.

The current SCOTUS is reducing the power of the administrative state and the unelected bureaucrats.

Yes, and concentrating it in the executive. When are we going to stop pretending that the unitary executive dream isn't real?


It's not a dream and hasn't been for decades. It's more a problem now because the federal government as a whole has gotten so powerful. Returning power to the states is one alternative.


It's not about returning power to the states.

It's the same dog whistle as States Rights vs Slavery. When push comes to shove the confederacy banned states from determing their own slavery policy.

We see this extremely obviously with the AI policy of the white house which is _do not_ let the states decide.

Elected Republican dogma is "State's Rights" when the states would decide the "correct" right and it's Federal supremacy when they wouldn't.
