@chrisgeidner@journa.host I really like this important line that you called out. Plaintiffs cannot argue before the Supreme Court that Executive Branch actors “unquestionably exercise[] executive power, and must therefore be controlled by the Chief Executive[,]” Slaughter, 609 U.S. at 27, and then here, argue that the Parties are sufficiently adverse to establish an actual case or controversy. It's good that a group is actually performing this review. I don't know that the actual ruling is worth anything these days, but it's important that it happened, if only for future judiciaries to track their historic value.
