How #ElizabethPrelogar Stands Up to a Runaway #SCOTUS
“Prelogar’s tenure has been especially frenzied: In the term that recessed in July alone, by one count, she argued nearly 20% of all the cases in which the government was involved, the highest percentage for any #SolicitorGeneral in a quarter century or more. And of all the cases the court decided, her office participated in the lion’s share of them.“

in reply to Nonilex • • •that description is at odds with the Court’s actual rulings, though.
Far from asserting dominance and making it harder for Congress to govern, the Court has ruled with restraint, citing its being bound by law, and reinforced Congress’s role in passing laws.
Yes, it’s the job of the SG to push for greater power for the president, but it’s the job of the other two branches to check that power.
VF seems to not really understand fundamental matters of US civics here.
