It's simply an institution meant to interpret laws and their legality. All of that goes out the window when the people in said institution are politically charged, corrupt, or make bad arguments.

Ironic considering everything they're "overturning" is former Supreme Court rulings that granted all these rights.

To be consistently evil you need checks and balances. This is the system at work.

They interpret the law. And when existing law has bad policy outcomes people get made that 9 unelected lawyers in robes aren't legislating for us. When the out comes are good people don't hear about them or forget them.

The truth is the winners have already won

this. it's all a big game and there are only winners and losers. good and evil are just ideas. if you believe in something, you go for the throat to make it reality. otherwise, you're just a loser on the internet bitching about it. more of you need to wake up to this fact.

I miss you George Carlin.

I've known this was coming for years. Once Goursich was added it was known to those watching the courts exactly what would happen.

Before one of the hosts did the typical "become an unwanted sexual advance asshole" like everyone seems to become after they gain some fame, Opening Arguments podcast was a great way to learn about how depressing our future will be.

It's absolutely fucking disgusting that no matter what the outcome SHOULD be, you can almost always call how this court will go simply by asking "what benefits the ultra wealthy and what have conservatives wanted forever?"

My perspective having known about Chevron before Friday is that while this is a big development for admin law people seem to be overstating the impact it will likely have. Agencies like the EPA, FDA, etc can still make rules as before now courts just have to judge arguments on interpretation impartially, like they did before the SCOTUS made the doctrine in the 80s aiding Reagan. The SCOTUS hasn't even applied it since 2016.

Is there a word to be People's Will pilled? Cause that's where I'm heading.

Personally, I take comfort that the executive will be weakened as it looks more and more likely that we're about to have a wannabe dictator coming to office.

Democracy isn't when appointed officials always side with other appointed officials.

When are we taking to the streets with guns?

After we disarm the extremely weaponized cops, military, etc... And we don't even need guns.

the us will be a true shithole in about a decade.

Will be?

I haven't had any interest in visiting the place since Bush was president.

I wish Gore had won, every other headline wouldn’t be about the impending climate doom and what we’re not doing to stop it

Oh wait, he DID win and the fucking court stole it

I wish the democrats didn’t force her, the candidate that was predicted to be weakest against Trump and the only one likely to lose, through the primary with every trick they could. The democrats tried to skew and steer their own voters and we all lost because of it.

Clinton is super pro-corporate, what are you on about? She was unelectable and never should've run, she's directly responsible for Trump.

Think you meant non elected.

But the point is that policy decisions aren't to be made by courts or agencies. They are to be made by an elected legislature, informed by the Congregational Research Services. To ensure the separation of powers.

Then the Executive agencies are to be tasked with enforce of the law. And if conflict should arise in the understanding of the law the judiciary is to interpret the law. And while judges are not experts in everything they are the experts in statutory interpretation.

Holy shit i can't believe someone is trying to both sides this. Trump got three nominees, and put 3 far right wing people on the court. If Clinton had put three people on, this would have all gone absolutely been like left wing of the court now, and these people would have gone the other way. And we still have morons clinging to the nonsense that it's the fault of both sides. Amazing.
