I'm curious, what evidence do you have to conclude that the justices understand the economic picture?

I'm sorry but that is pure fantasy on your part.

There was a rumor going around way back when I was in law school that said in effect that if lawyers were good in math they would have gone to medical school.

So you think the SC justices understand economics....

Most of the ‘conservative’ justices have been heavily involved in pulling the levers of power for a long time. They are not just ‘lawyers’ that got Peter Principled into the SCOTUS. They are privy to vast amounts of information that is not readily available to the average person.

BTW, what has math to do with medicine? Did you mean engineering?
