Not totally sure what to make of it, but I found it interesting that on the same day you had a Federal appeals court ruling that a New York law requiring airlines to provide water for passengers stuck on the tarmac for more than 3 hours unfairly impedes the FAA's ability to regulate the industry but the supreme court ruled that neither the President or Congress have the power via the icj to make texas review a death penalty case where a foreign national's rights were clearly violated.

Is this just a fluke or does the past 25 years of growing conservative jurisprudence really come down to 'you don't tell me who not to kill and I promise not to regulate when Washington gets too complacent'?
