The Supreme Court, via (not by) Dahlia Lithwick: “Grasping for sweeping power is a curious move for an institution that cannot even manage its small staff, follows no binding code of ethics, is unable to provide any explanation for its own failures, and lacks the basic scientific literacy needed to tell the difference between a deadly pollutant (nitrogen oxide) and laughing gas (nitrous oxide). It is as if a tractor-trailer mechanic should scrub into an operating room and tell the surgeons, ’I’ll take it from here.’”
