Who do you want deciding if a piece of medical equipment is safe to use and effective in doing its job? A political science grad with a JD or a group of Ph.D engineers and MD's?

Who do you want deciding if a medicine is safe and properly formulated to treat a specific illness? Congress, a judge or MD's, pharmacists, biologists, chemists et al. at the Food and Drug Administration?

congress (and courts) should decide everything

They are thrilled because they know Congress is gridlocked and they have a supermajority on the court. Government destruction is progressing as planned.

Think of all the decisions made by government employees that aren't written into law.

This could portend a very narrow ruling on the marine fisheries case.

I agree, but I think the argument was that the federal government had ceded that to the state of Texas via inaction.

What is “inaction” in this context?
