Justice Kagan [View all]

schools the uninformed RightWingers on the court:


All kinds of judgments on the public health side, on the economic side, how those two things ought to be balanced against each other.

So who decides? Should it be the agency full of expert policy-makers, and completely politically accountable through the president? Or, on the other hand, courts can decide. Courts are not politically accountable. Courts have not been elected. Courts have no epidemiological expertise.

Why in the world would courts decide this question?
