‘It ought to be uncontroversial that in democracies founded on the rule of law, the government can do only those things the law authorises it to do and that, as US Chief Justice John Roberts put it, the courts’ job is to “check the excesses” of the executive. The Vice-President, however, sees things differently, describing Roberts’ view as “profoundly wrong” and arguing that it is inappropriate for judges to prevent elected politicians from enacting their mandate.’
