Where was all the liberal angst when Obama decided a US citizen abroad was a terrorist and droned him?

Well, things flip all the time. When GWB was in office, he was a "monster stomping on US citizens' civil liberties". When Obama was in office, "well those are just the tools he needs to keep us safe."

Remember when Republicans were the party of free trade?

Not surprised Lincoln was a Republican.  But am surprised how people forget the Democrat Party was the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and segregation.

Supreme Court strikes down Chevron, curtailing power of federal agencies - SCOTUSblog

Chevron deference, Roberts explained in his opinion for the court on Friday, is inconsistent with the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that sets out the procedures that federal agencies must follow as well as instructions for courts to review actions by those agencies. The APA, Roberts noted, directs courts to “decide legal questions by applying their own judgment” and therefore “makes clear that agency interpretations of statutes — like agency interpretations of the Constitution — are not entitled to deference. Under the APA,” Roberts concluded, “it thus remains the responsibility of the court to decide whether the law means what the agency says.”
Roberts rejected any suggestion that agencies, rather than courts, are better suited to determine what ambiguities in a federal law might mean. Even when those ambiguities involve technical or scientific questions that fall within an agency’s area of expertise, Roberts emphasized, “Congress expects courts to handle technical statutory questions” – and courts also have the benefit of briefing from the parties and “friends of the court.”
Moreover, Roberts observed, even if courts should not defer to an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute that it administers, it can consider that interpretation when it falls within the agency’s purview, a doctrine known as Skidmore deference.
Stare decisis – the principle that courts should generally adhere to their past cases – does not provide a reason to uphold the Chevron doctrine, Roberts continued. Roberts characterized the doctrine as “unworkable,” one of the criteria for overruling prior precedent, because it is so difficult to determine whether a statute is indeed ambiguous.

Other flips have been more weird. Russia is one. I can't imagine the party of Ronald Reagan complaining about military aid to Ukraine to halt Russian expansion. Yet here we are. I won't say that the Republican Party has become "pro-Russia", but they've gone from being the anti-Russia party to more along the "eh, we don't like what Putin is doing but we'd just rather not be involved" party. I don't get it.
