It was relevant to the Dovster's discussing of Separation of Powers in response to Randy's statement...

The case is very much relevant to Separation of Powers versus Balance of Powers in the United States. Here on Flyertalk we have a Supreme Court of Randy, and while Monty Python may say that "Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony..." in our case Executive Power is what Randy says it is
