    It was an obvious point legally in terms of agency authority. Of course, the public has moved on, for better or worse. I do like that it exposes the fallacy in the reasoning of our local MAGA District Court Judge

    Another un-MAGA ruling from this court that is supposed to be MAGA parrots.

    Can't be.

    When it doesn't matter and in a brief opinion in the context of an injunction that cannot undermine their intent to use the nondelegation doctrine or the major questions doctrine to undermine agency authority in general. It's like Amy Coney Barrett joining the liberals on capital punishment cases when she knows her vote wont alter the outcome. It's for appearance only.

    Who said it was MAGA? In August of 2021, 73% of Pubs were against mask mandates, so it's a conservative thing, not MAGA. Pretty sure that number hasn't changed. And to be fair, the justices we're pretty much right, whether conservative or not, because the question was whether the TSA has a right to maintain security and safety over transportation. And of course it does because no other agency would. They are Transportation Security.

    We have to maintain constant readiness against a possible reemergence of unicorn dust.

    LOL Tilly, your going to compare taking away precedent - a woman's right to choose and affirmative action and compare that to TSA requiring persons in a crowded plane to wear masks during a pandemic.?

    Ok lmao

    Why doesn’t a right to choose extend to whether or not to wear a face-mounted anxiety placebo ?

    I have an idea! Why don't you read the actual SCOTUS opinion since it directly answers your question? Why must someone else dumb it down for you?

    I’m not sure they are MAGA. I tend to believe they generally aren’t going to make obviously erroneous rulings just to favor Trump (Clarence Thomas I’m not sure about). But a majority is very right wing ideological and have little issue overturning precedent for right wing causes.

    There have been several instances of this court not following the MAGA line.

    The things you cite are much more traditional conservative issues and not MAGA ones.

    MAGA values tend to be more about the "stolen" election, The FBI search of Trump's home, and Covid. The court hasnt been very MAGAish for actual MAGA issues.

    Conservative? Yes.
    MAGA? No.

    Thats my point. Conservative and MAGA are different.

    Values a generic term.

    The point is a conservative court isnt automatically MAGA and pro-life rulings are old school conservative, not new school MAGA siliness.

    Affirmative action has long been seen by many as an improper strategy as well. Nothing MAGA about that.

    Again, many MAGA attempts get shot down by SCOTUS.

    First "MAGA" is an abomination to representative Gov't in the United States.

    Second, MAGA ia an offshoot and increasingly popular branch of the Republican Party.

    Third, TRUMP, whom you VOTED FOR in 2016, has openly suggested via the press and ergo, indirectly to his Right Wing judges that he appointed, that he is OWED rulings that support his criminal behavior, including rulings around the Jan. 6th coup, his continued dodging of revealing his income tax cheating and evasion and of course his theft of sensitive white house material that was clearly against the law.

    You can bob and weave all you like but the fact is Conservatives are completely on board with any behavior (See Mr. Walker of UGA fame), or with any faction (MAGA), that puts GOP operatives in office.

    I watched several Republican National Committe members openly say, with their mouth, on prime time news, that ANY SINS committed by Mr. Walker or any other GOP candidate were inconsequential as compared to the furtherance of GOP aquisition of power in Gov't by elected office.

    I heard that Christian hero, Ralph Reed, spew the same hate filled rhetoric on NPR.

    In other words the GOP holds NO ONE accountable for ANYTHING as long as they are electable.

    This from the hypocrites that wanted to string up Bill Clinton for a blow job.

    You and your party will rue the day you got in bed with TRUMP, MAGA, FACISTS and ELECTION deniers. They will eventually come for you too. You will see to your ever lasting shame.

    My party? I have no party. I am a disenfranchised FORMER republican.

    Rue the day? I did that very quickly. Thus my turning on Trump in 2020.

    You keep missing my point GH. The SCOTUS has shot down much of MAGAS agenda.

    Abortion and affirmative action are not MAGA agendas. They arent. They are age old debates. Reagan wasnt a MAGA. Those were issues he grappled with. They existed decades before we ever saw a red hat at a rally.

    That court that Trump thinks owes him as you say, has given him many defeats.

    The rulings that have gone red are not maga rulings in many cases, but conservative ones.

    The one's MAGA screams about have in many cases been shot down by that very SCOTUS.
