Regarding this Supreme Court's independence and adherence to "law," I found this article interesting. crisesnotes.com

The article has to do with Trump's attacks on Powell and the Fed's independence, or lack thereof. It contained this paragraph, which in turn contains a quote from a dissent that Justice Katenji Jackson wrote recently:

"The Supreme Court blatantly places Trump administration executive orders above statutory and constitutional provisions. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson aptly summarized the current situation in a dissenting decision just yesterday: “This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”

That's an interesting way to frame the point I've been making about the way the Federalist Society Justices on the current Supreme Court tend to group together to support whatever the administration wants. Conservative ideology doesn't necessarily dictate how their votes are cast--ideology seems to take a back seat to letting this administration, with its belief in a "unitary executive," always win. IMO, "unitary executive" is an irresponsible euphemism.
