He/him. Marginally amusing is the bar. This machine kills (figuratively) deplorables. Women's rights are human rights. Trans rights are human rights. Civil rights are human rights.

The nice thing about America is that you can often find this down the street from a place that makes legit biscuits and sausage gravy.

The name "breakfast in America" is hilarious on several levels.

Technically it is, but also, nah, any 5 out of 9 can decide otherwise. It's just Calvinball now.

I sometimes start to think that the GOP is the sole receptacle of extremely stupid people but then this happens and I'm like "oh yeah, that's right".

Not that there weren't reasons to run against the court before, but "The justices who have taking a lot of bribes says it's okay to bribe elected officials" seems like the kind of thing that an average voter can both understand and get mad about

I think what voters across the globe are attempting to communicate is "we've lost our collective minds, figure this shit out for yourself".

Huh. Well that's an interesting thought. America's conservative tradition was booted in the revolutionary war. The US never had one.

Yeah, I'm not going to do this level of nuance on the internet and let me be clear about my stance which is that adults that have sex with children deserve to go to prison. And I'm not some libertarian playing games with "ebophilia" or whatever. Fuck that. Prison.

Lol i love your description. That does make sense but I do want to point out that they HAVE pushed out a lot of opinions this term AND they can just let stand the "correct" opinions of lower courts.

That's what some people say on the internet, yes. I'm not presenting myself as someone who knows one way or the other, but a lot of people have a knee jerk reaction to anything having to do with sex education for teens & I don't agree with that, either.

Exactly, and any court that doesn't will just get overruled. While "upholding" Chevron, is my guess.

What do I know, maybe the decision will say something like "Federal agencies aren't allowed to write anything, every bit of instruction must come directly from the legislature, no backsies" but it will be harder, I think, to pretend like that isn't dumb as shit. Again, what do I know? (not much)

I'm not sure I can think of a reason that the fascist 6 would NOT want their docket to explode. They'll be turning out these decisions using ChatGPT and a couple of interns to do the editing. "Make sure you strike down that stuff about clean water, you know how I like it to look".

Do you think even Kavanaugh has articulated something that doesn't amount to Calvinball? What the hell is "the principle of non-delegation" except "we'd like to use Calvinball to strike down even more shit we don't like"?

Oh, i agree with this (I think) but what I'm saying is that they'll pretend that whatever they do is just the same as the way they were doing it before but now the EPA doesn't exist anymore for some reason. Chevron is uses the phrase "reasonable interpretation" which doesn't mean shit.

I forget what the specific case is about (b/c it doesn't really matter that much) but if it's good for rich guys generally to strike it down then they'll strike it down and they'll put some other words around it and claim they aren't changing anything.

malone knows this (I think) but for anyone jumping into this thread at this point you should know that I have no actual idea what the fuck I'm talking about. Opinions about the law are my most truly "old guy at the end of the bar after 3 drinks" takes.

Yeah, this except they'll just declare it to be the same "reasonable interpretation" standard as Chevron so they can say they haven't changed anything.

I wouldn't call it "lost" so much as "put away underneath some boxes in the garage". I know it's a deeply cynical take, but I think they're going to say "in this decision we're upholding Chevron in all ways except in any way that matters".

Roberts, no. ACB is still mostly a cipher to me. Kavanaugh will do whatever it takes to get the outcome he wants which is that the courts can strike down anything any agency does for any reason they feel like. Did "Shelby county" articulate a replacement for the concept that judges shouldn't 1/

lol no you don't. That's just 2019 thinking. I'm not even kidding. I don't think they do "articulate a replacement". I think they just pretend that they're upholding Chevron while actually replacing it with a giant 💩.
