The Republican Supreme Court cited a new conservative legal doctrine know as the "major questions doctrine" to issue this ruling.

Biden's own words aren't relevant.

I think his words are relevant. Whether or not the Supreme Court chose to cite them in this case.

I don’t think we should be cheering when our government digs for legal loopholes to get around the fact that it can’t pass a bill through Congress.

It's not a new doctrine, it's separation of powers.
I think both the ruling (and the major questions doctrine generally) and Biden's policy are bad.
