(For instance, he's
blocked the EPA from being pragmatic because Congress is dragging its heels on updating environmental protection laws.)

I wonder if we'll see an article like this if the populist left takes over the Democratic Party and starts digging into mismanagement in the US under the near-complete Republican rule (at both the federal and state levels).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raMR3mqzqqQFormer Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner now works for a firm that issues high-interest loans (at payday loan rates) of essentially any amount, and then sues the first time a payment is missed.
Also, Anthony Kennedy's last ruling is one that lets employees freeload on unions completely. There was already a rule in place mandating that unions keep money they use for bargaining with employers separate from money they use for political lobbying, and non-union employees at unionized workplaces had to pay into the former fund (since they saw a direct benefit from the union's work there) but not the latter. Now the Supreme Court, with "swing vote" Anthony Kennedy siding with the wingnuts, has ruled that, in fact, employees don't have to pay anything at all... but unions still have to bargain on their behalf.
Fuck you, Anthony Kennedy, you corporatist dick.
