I agree - no one intended for FHFA to do whatever it wanted

What about Textualism makes you say THAT is our HOPE

I totally disagree

The text is 4617f and a bunch of judges read it - did not go further - and gave the GOV summary motion ---- not liberal judges v conservative - they all did

Here is a defintion of Textualism

Given what HERA says in 4617f - with no ambiguity - I would argue that of all Judges --- a textualist is the LEAST likely to help us ---- look at the bolded part of the definition - the stuff THEY WILL NOT DO -- and I submit for your consideration -- those are the exact things the EN BANC did - despite the Text. I wonder if you love Textualism and thus view it as THE answer here ?

OK the definition '
Textualism is a formalist theory in which the interpretation of the law is primarily based on the ordinary meaning of the legal text, where no consideration is given to non-textual sources, such as intention of the law when passed, the problem it was intended to remedy, or significant questions regarding the justice or rectitude of the law.

Textualists understand that the incidental powers granted to FHFA in HERA, do not mean that an accountable to no one in Government FHFA Director can do whatever he wants.

If that is the case than why did the self-proclaimed textualist Amy write the majority opinion in that case. Did you read Thomas dissent?

but keep holding your jps while the conversion ratio slips from 5 to 3. Where is that downward spiral going to end? Oh yeah, fulcrum security, how could I forget!

I stated before I am indifferent between the two classes. I would like to see both do well. If you keep on with your insinuations I will put you on ignore.
