That’s adorable. Clearly several of the supremes’ votes are situational.
Perhaps. But they also very much want to establish limits on the power of the Federal government, and to cut down on the agencies' going back and pulling old and vague statutes out of the book to do what they want. Their recent decisions have actually moved power away from the Executive and back to Congress and/or the courts - which limits both the expansion of the regulatory state (which they want) and the ability of this particular President to accomplish certain things (which they might not want).
I wouldn't bet on them ruling against the Administration. But neither would I count out the conservatives using it as a chance to say, "no, we meant it, no more expansion of agency power through weird readings of old statutes."
