Levine fundamentally misunderstands principles of federalism and is a disaster for the economy.

The first paragraph of Greve's essay is set out below, followed by a link to the entire piece:

Not so long ago, the Roberts Court drew a torrent of commentary ? most of it critical ? about its supposed pro-business orientation. ?Supreme Court, Inc.? was the title of an article by law professor Jeffrey Rosen in the New York Times Magazine. This year, with a heavily Democratic Congress relieving its pent-up demand for regulation, as well as a financial disaster supposedly caused by ?deregulation? and a new administration with a declared intention to reconstruct the American economy, many expected a confrontation between populist politics and the Supreme Court?s insistence on a modicum of government restraint and reason. But the justices? recent decision in Wyeth v. Levine suggests just the opposite.
