My favorite comment on HN was some law student saying his prof said “Scalia is the most complicated supreme court member whose views are always unpredictable” and the commenter said “he’s just a corporate hack who always votes for corporations and backs it up” and sure enough he guessed every ruling correctly.
Maybe? But this wasn't the supreme court: "...was vacated by the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit."

Case was decided by Loken (GHW Bush), Erickson (Trump), and Kobes (Trump).
But I will say that having independent justices who constantly fuck up your government plans can be exhausting.
I think you missed this — it isn’t some arbitrary reason to rule in an anti-consumer way. There is good reason to do so. Imo we should keep our checks and balances strong, and this is one small action that does that.
I think the tense of this sentence is not quite right. Something more like "Make checks and balances strong again" would work.
