So in a case that, as Kagan noted, was “not a case,” the majority overrode “the combined judgment of the Legislative and Executive Branches, with the consequence of eliminating loan forgiveness for 43 million Americans.”Roberts, for his part, wasn’t content to merely wield power when it came to the decision itself. He also felt the need to use the pages of a Supreme Court majority opinion to complain about how the powerful majority was being criticized.
Yet, as voting rights lawyer Marc Elias observed Thursday on “Deadline: White House,” what’s “disturbing” about Roberts’ critique is the chief justice laying blame with dissenters questioning the court, instead of the majority doing the work of convincing the public that it's right. That makes it even harder to care about Roberts’ weird complaint in his opinion denying loan relief, in which he took pains to make clear that the majority doesn’t mistake “plainly heartfelt disagreement for disparagement.” He said it’s “important that the public not be misled either. Any such misperception would be harmful to this institution and our country.”
