What you really meant to put in quotes is "silly hysterical woman". You know, the one who is way more educated and accomplished than any of us.
Nah, I meant what I said. She started with the conclusion she wanted, based on her feelings about Trump (as expressed in her dissent), and worked backward from there using bad reasoning, i.e. "Congress can Constitutionally do X, so that means the President can't also Constitutionally do X or Y".

I’m not sure why you keep doubling down on your incorrect characterization of her argument, but you do you I guess.
 
It really was foolish of me to think that Conservatives who have been failures in their own lives would somehow of stopped blaming women for their own life failures and shortcomings by claiming women are hysterical and unbalanced when they don't get their way. I think the psychological term is "projection"

Because her dissent is rife with emotion. That emotion is why she's all alone on this one.
Even if that's true, it has nothing to do with your mischaracterization of her disagreement with the majority. Can we expect a comment from you here anytime a justice writes something that is "rife with emotion"? Or are you reserving that critique only for the liberal women?

For the record, it's only you and superrific who are bringing race and sex into this discussion.

I'm talking about the content of what was written. I don't care about melanin, chromosomes or genitals.

KBJ's dissent is 14 pages. You quoted two sentences from her conclusion. Here's the entire two-paragraph conclusion. Posting this so we can all determine for ourselves if KBJ's dissent -- or even the conclusion of her dissent -- is "rife with emotion," and if it's not, what possible reason you might have for saying that.

______________________________

Given the fact-based nature of the issue in this case and the many serious harms that result from allowing the President to dramatically reconfigure the Federal Government, it was eminently reasonable for the District Court to maintain the status quo while the courts evaluate the lawfulness of the President’s executive action. At bottom, this case is about whether that action amounts to a structural overhaul that usurps Congress’s policymaking prerogatives—and it is hard to imagine deciding that question in any meaningful way after those changes have happened. Yet, for some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President’s wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation.

In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless. Lower court judges have their fingers on the pulse of what is happening on the ground and are indisputably best positioned to determine the relevant facts—including those that underlie fair assessments of the merits, harms, and equities. I see no basis to conclude that the District Court erred—let alone clearly so—in finding that the President is attempting to fundamentally restructure the Federal Government. Therefore, I would not disrupt the lower courts’ preservation of the status quo. Instead, I would leave intact their protection of the historical relationship between Congress and the President, preventing irreparable harm to the plaintiffs and the public while the Judiciary does the critical work of evaluating this exercise of power.

Yep... lots of feelings.

Whether or not an Executive Action is Constitutional/legal isn't about "taking wrecking balls" to anything or having their "fingers on the pulse of what is happening on the ground", etc.
