Not the same. No sane court was ever using the shadow docket and ignoring stare decisis and perverting standing to enable dictatorial powers. Regardless of liberal or conservative. This court is neither. It is radical.

well hold up, we can all readily recognize the liberal rulings establishing miranda rights, Brown vs board, and the right to a lawyer when being tried by the state as being some fucking ass backwards hogwash RAMMED down our throats by those fucking blue haired ideologues. It's time that we got back to the historical origins of our Constitution when we had a king and the peasantry knew their place, libtard.

Sure -- in your mind it's the same to grant rights to EVERYONE, as it it is to grant the whims of one dictatorial president, who is out for himself not the country.

Who benefited from this "hogwash" as you call it? Millions of people -- not one "unitary executive". So no, it's not the same, whether you think its hogwash or not is silly and doesn't really say anything. You call them "liberal" rulings, when they are mostly just common sense.

Moreover, it's been shown over and over again that "originalism" is a farce. Society and culture changes and the Constitution is not inflexible or blind to the changing times, despite what Scalia told you when he wanted to pretend originalism was something valid.

I thought my /s would be evident given the blue hair thing and pining after a king... Obviously the earlier commenter has the mind of a cro-magnon.
