the unitarian notion of accountability is, in general, very strange as it holds that a single election — the president’s reelect — is more democratically accountable than the rolling process of democratic assent produced by legislative elections and congressional oversight.

One thing about the current SCOTUS that they try to retain the intellectual patina for their decisions when in reality they're just the most basal, partisan, power politics decisions imaginable. There is no intellectual foundation there, just post hoc rationalizing--an intellectual dead end.
