Some Supreme Court terms are characterized by a single blockbuster case. This term largely revolves around a single blockbuster question: Will our government retain the capacity to address the most pressing issues of our time?
That’s what’s at stake in a group of cases involving the power, capacity and in some instances the very existence of federal agencies, the entities responsible for carrying out so much of the work of government.
If this goes the worst possible way I’m sure Congress will just swing into action and suddenly start legislating to resolve the thousands of questions that will suddenly need answering.
