Harvard Law Review's article on "The Imperial Supreme Court."
...
The Court has taken significant, simultaneous steps to restrict the power of Congress, the administrative state, the states, and the lower federal courts. And it has done so using a variety of (often contradictory) interpretative methodologies. The common denominator across multiple opinions in the last two years is that they concentrate power in one place: the Supreme Court.

I’d say it’s exercising the power it’s had since 1804, and largely using it to curb the power of the other two branches. Especially the executive, who’s power has increased relentlessly for many decades.

It's kind of funny seeing the meltdown over the supposed power grab by a group of "Unelected People in Black Robes." It was a bunch of Unelected White Men in Black Robes who invented the constitutional right to abortion, and their descendants who invented the constitutional right to marriage.

This is a well encapsulated case in point where a political tribal narrative is objectively and demonstrably divorced from reality, and yet all the educated and intelligent leftists are still true believers in it.

I have rarely heard tribal hatred like I hear when the left speaks of the current Supreme Court. Safe to say the abortion thing was triggering.

That's why the President and Senate are so important. It's why The Resident has been on a record setting pace of judicial nominations.
SCOTUS has had a leftward lean for many years. This court is more in the middle. The loss of power for the Left is infuriating.
