SCOTUS overturns Chevron plus other decisions

This is an example of why there should be deference to federal administrative agencies rather than reliance on interpretations by the judiciary.
Supreme Court Corrects EPA Opinion After Gorsuch Confuses Laughing Gas With Air Pollutant

 

For the lawyers here (@GatorBen, @gator_lawyer, @VAg8r1), is Skidmore v Swift just pushing us back to a situation where the Judiciary is going to rule cases on ambiguities in the Code and address of the interpretive Regulations are compelling? This seems to give me balance of power back to the the People to fight overreach.

“We consider that the rulings, interpretations and opinions of the Administrator under this Act, while not controlling upon the courts by reason of their authority, do constitute a body of experience and informed judgment to which courts and litigants may properly resort for guidance. The weight of such a judgment in a particular case will depend upon the thoroughness evident in its consideration, the validity of its reasoning, its consistency with earlier and later pronouncements, and all those factors which give it power to persuade, if lacking power to control.”

SKIDMORE et al. v. SWIFT & CO.

 

Let me clarify because that's further than I was going. I don't think there has been much to Chevron since the composition of the judiciary and SCOTUS radically changed under Trump.

 

The Chevron decision is the opening salvo towards the implementation of Project 2025.

In the Handmaid's Tale, SCOTUS was disbanded and the members assassinated. In the upcoming Trump coup, the unelected and unremovable SCOTUS will be the backbone of the far right power grab to end democracy in the US once and for all.

 

Other than the obvious Supreme Court stacking, I’m curious how the number of Biden’s appointments to the respective benches compares to Trump’s. On a State level, DeSantis has completely overhauled the Florida judiciary (I don’t say that as a complement).

 

Something tells me Hannah Cox has no legal background whatsoever. The dispute over Chevron doesn't implicate the Constitution. It's a dispute over statutory law and a doctrine of judicial restraint (that the conservatives, including Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, once supported when it served their political goals of deregulation).

Notably, Chevron (the case) emerged from liberal environmental groups trying to stop Reagan's EPA from weakening environmental regulations. It allowed the Reagan administration to implement its policy reforms without the judiciary's constant interference. As usual, when Chevron stopped overwhelmingly benefiting Republicans, they turned on it.

 

Biden has appointed around 200 appeals court judges. However, it matters little when SCOTUS just ignores their rulings and does whatever they want as prescribed by their billionaire masters.

 

His homies on the court will have his back and there isn't jack anyone can do about it. They will never be impeached and the gop will never go along with expanding the court or imposing term limits. The scotus is effectively above the law.

 

Lol Thomas is such a piece of shit.

 

now there is no appeal period. will this carry through to federally issued permits that also have an appeal period? can anyone that might be influenced appeal any federal decision at any time?

All this creates uncertainty. If there is anything business hates, it is uncertainty. It is beginning to feel like an intentional attempt to create uncertainty

Chief Justice John Roberts captured the dilemma facing the court when the Corner Post case was argued in February. Agencies could face repeated challenges “10 years later, 20 years later” and “sort of have to create the universe, you know, repeatedly.”

On the other hand, Roberts said, “You have an individual or an entity that is harmed by something the government is doing, and you’re saying, well, that’s just too bad, you can’t do anything about it because other people had six years to do something about it.”

The legal principle that everybody is entitled to their day in court, Roberts said, “doesn’t say unless somebody else had a day in court."

 

Through its decision ending Chevron deference Trump's SCOTUS is doing its part in Making America Great Again. The cartoon below provides a graphic illustration of America back when it was great (as defined by the Trumpian right).

 

Pocahontas... LMFAO!
