> not sure what that tells you exactly. Preference for what, monetary policy as opposed to commerce?
SCOTUS does not care about regulatory or labor protections, because the Justices are friends with and receive payments from the billionaire class (Leonard Leo, Charles Koch, Erik Prince) who benefit from weaker protections.
On the other hand, a corrupt Fed could lead to rampant inflation, which would devalue their 401k.
In other words, SCOTUS is motivated by self interest, not rule of law or justice.
When the Court does what people like, they're ruling according to the law. When they do what people don't like, they're judicial activists ruling by preference.
When the Court does what people like, they're a legitimate and vital check on government power. When it does what people don't like, they're unelected politicans in robes.
