The governmentâs position is literally that the government itself is âirreparably harmedâ by distributing funds What it means is that Trumpâs political position is âirreparably harmedâ by disbursing SNAP funds. This conservative SCOTUS majority wonât need any help to understand this.

In December 1865, 2500 Black Washingtonians petitioned Congress for the right to vote. "Experience teaches," they wrote, "that all reforms have their opponents. The same experience also teaches that apprehensions of evil arising from reforms founded in justice, are but seldom if ever realized."

The requirement that challengers must show that a govât action âlacks any purpose other than a bare desire to harm a politically unpopular groupâ basically would mean all animus discrimination is constitutional. There is always some other âpurpose.â This standard would overrule Romer and Cleburne.

Doctrinal mess. But if you stick to the idea that the Roberts coalition on the Court is pro-business, anti-regulation yet also pro-executive power, the tariff case cuts down the middle, with the balance probably tilting toward the pro-business (anti-tariff) side.
