The Supreme Court significantly weakened the power of federal agencies to approve regulations in a major decision Friday that could have sweeping implications for the environment, public health and the workplace.
The 6-3 ruling, overturning a precedent from 1984, will shift the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches and hands an important victory to conservatives who have sought for years to rein in the regulatory authority of the “administrative state.”
Step one: stuff the judiciary.
Step two: stuff the Supreme Court.
Step three: run all existing and future Federal policy through the backlogged, unqualified judiciary to grind governance to a halt.
Step four: profit!
Under a conservative Court, there is no such thing as precedent. They are shameless in their corruption, gleeful in their theft of the public good, righteous in their trampling of the rights of Americans. Hopefully our Democratic lawmakers will realize someday soon that nothing is protected if it’s not enumerated in excruciating detail in the law itself, the existence of laws doesn’t mean they’ll be enforced or enforceable under this standard, and old laws will be resurrected to impose a far-right vision upon us.
