The right wing (I won't say "conservatives" because they are not) used to complain about unelected judges setting policy that should be set by elected officials. Now they want the unelected judges to overturn laws passed by elected officials.

Like a lot of right wing positions, the reasoning is shown to be insincere attempts to implement their ideology instead of applying a consistent approach. Other examples include McConnall's approach to Court nominees and arguments prior to the overturn of Roe, that abortion law should be determined by the states, and now trying to ban abortion nationally.

I am curious what percentage of government cases are being driven by questions of technology. Mt Crim Procedure class has highlighted how technology impacts and distorts original intent and interpretation of statutes and the constitution.
