The Supreme Court’s opinions in the NetChoice/CCIA cases have been leading to some bizarre interpretations, as many people try to read into it things they wanted to see but just aren’t there. Cathy already covered some of the oddities of Justice Alito’s concurrence (which Justices Thomas and Gorsuch signed onto), but I wanted to dig in a little more to his concurrence, pointing out a few things that show just how much Alito is willing to decide on an ideological basis, rather than one based on principles.
I will read the arguments in SCOTUS decisions from time to time, and the naked partizanship is real. When the courts were more balanced they had to couch their bias with more legally sound arguments.
Now they aren’t even trying.
They’ve discovered what trump discovered - there are no consequences for them.
