Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

It's a sign that your legal theory is too extreme when Justice Clarence Thomas leads a lopsided majority in rejecting it. That just happened in a case that highlights not the greatness of the Supreme Court but, instead, the radicalism of the even-further-right 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which the Thomas-led court had to reverse. The appeal involved a payday lender-backed challenge to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

He was joined by the lopsided, bipartisan majority consisting of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Kagan. He couldn’t pick up the votes of fellow far-right travelers in other cases, Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, who dissented.
