    So you think that candidates should ve defeated at the ballot box and not by judicial decree, but judicial decree is perfectly okay for policymaking.

      I am specifically talking about the current situation. It’s no good to defeat Trump if we don’t also defeat Trumpism.

      Judicial review is always about policymaking. That is frankly a massive subject. Where the constitution and/or legislation is unclear, yes, it typically falls to the courts to interpret. However, that’s not even terribly relevant here, since what the court did is throw it to Congress to make the policy decision.

              That’s from an opinion piece, not that anyone could tell by your reference to it. I’ve already explained quite clearly where I disagree.

              BTW: Pasting an image of text with no link or citation really sucks. It’s lazy, and forces others to go search out the source.

                No it just keeps me from having to retype the same thing over and over. And of course it’s from an opinion piece just as the supreme Court judges statement is an opinion piece
