Why the Obama administration keeps losing:
These cases have nothing in common, other than the government’s view that federal power is virtually unlimited: Citizens must subsume their liberty to whatever the experts in a given field determine the best or most useful policy to be.
If the government can’t get even one of the liberal justices to agree with it on any of these unrelated cases, it should realize there’s something seriously wrong with its constitutional vision.
Do tell.
“If the government can’t get even one of the liberal justices to agree with it on any of these unrelated cases, it should realize there’s something seriously wrong with its constitutional vision.”
But of course it won’t. If Obama weren’t term-limited, I bet he’d be thinking about packing the court as FDR threatened.
Hence the desire on the part of the Obama administration to have his federal appeals court nominees approved by Congress. He is trying to stack the courts with more administration friendly judges.
…there’s something seriously wrong with its
constitutionalvision.Being right means never having to self examine. Losing doesn’t matter. Pressing forward regardless is all it takes.
It shows how far into the end game we are, that losing supreme court decisions doesn’t change our course.
