Okay, but the Supreme Court justices who want to take down Chevron are insincere.

The IRS exemptions for fake Christian seemingly organizations: do you think the court is going to defer to the IRS’s interpretation of the 3 word “exclusively for religious” part of the 501(c)(3) if it denies something Christian tax exemption? No. They’re going to see if that woman’s husband is a member of the Federalist Society, and if he is, then her bullshit charity that pays her salary will maintain tax exemption. My dude, Clarence Thomas’s wife is a beneficiary of deference on 501(c)(3).

They like administrative deference when it suits them. Don’t try to make this about some sincere judicial opinion that has some legitimacy.

Everyone says this about their opposition. Obviously you know that it's not true about the liberals—you know that they mean what they say. So when a conservative says that liberals are insincere and really have a hidden agenda you know that's nonsense.

Turns out that that the same thing is also true on the conservative side. They generally really do believe what they say. Donald Trump is a notable exception, but even many of his supporters are sincere and are either stupidly taken in or see him as a means to a good end.
