I refuse to believe this decision was influenced, in any way, by any actual consideration of the U.S. Constitution. There’s no reasonable interpretation of that document which would provide sufficient justification to rule the relief plan unconstitutional. This was a political decision, pure and simple, by a government body that is supposed to be apolitical. Just like every other branch of government, the judiciary has become corrupted by billionaire donors and turned into a polarized mockery of its original intent. No wonder public opinion of the Supreme Court is in the toilet. They’re no better than Congress these days.
Frankly, it was a mistake to ever consider the Supreme Court apolitical to begin with. Nobody is above politics, pretending not to play the game doesn’t mean they weren’t doing it. The Supreme Court needs to change, whether its through term limits or making them democratically elected.
