SCOTUS overrules Chevron, a massive blow to the ability of federal agencies to function. The familiar 6–3, with Roberts writing for the majority www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
Not sure how they believe government will function if they have to take every action they contemplate to jury trial. All so that a few REALLY BIG fraud cases have more wriggle room for rich people to find a way out of paying fines.
I'm not a lawyer, nut could a judge sort of sidestep the issue by essentially saying, "since the court has no expertise on the issue, it must accept the analyses presented by experts..."
They'd technically be deciding whether experts are right without deferring to an agency rule, would they not?
#IllegitimateSCOTUS cowardly pricks aren’t releasing the #PresidentialImmunity decision until MONDAY! The justices won’t be around because they KNOW we’re going to be fucking pissed. They can KMA!
Kagan in dissent, writing for the liberals: "In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue—no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden—involving the meaning of regulatory law."
Sadly most Americans will not understand the importance of this because admin law is too esoteric of a concept and most people don't understand how federal agencies shape their lives. It's insane how much power SCOTUS has in a divided nation where amending the constitution is essentially impossible.
Clears the way for a Trumpian admin to fire agency-base experts and others as they will no longer be needed. I’m glad to be old and on the way out but oh, do I fear for our country
