The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority spent several hours Wednesday attacking a longstanding legal doctrine that gives federal agencies wide latitude to create policies and regulations in various areas of life.

The justices heard two cases concerning the so-called Chevron deference, which emerged from a 1984 case. Oral arguments in the first case went well beyond the allotted hour, with the conservatives signaling their willingness to overturn the decades-old case and their liberal colleagues sounding the alarm on how such a reversal would upend how the federal government enforces all kinds of regulations.

Congress routinely writes open-ended, ambiguous laws that leave the policy details to agency officials. The Chevron deference stipulates that when disputes arise over regulation of an ambiguous law, judges should defer to agency interpretations, as long as the interpretations are reasonable.

...

The three liberal justices warned during Wednesday’s pair of arguments that overturning the 1984 decision in Chevron would force courts to make policy decisions that they argue are better left for experts employed by federal agencies.

“I see Chevron as doing the very important work of helping courts stay away from policymaking,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said, adding later: “I’m worried about the courts becoming über legislators.”

  • Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
  • Expand and pack the court
  • Push a court case that it was their duty.
  • Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
  • Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
  • withhold all federal funds to any state who's senator was blocking it
  • Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they're in the minority
  • BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It's all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.

There's a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.

Spend every day having a press announcement? What’s that going to do when they already decided they weren’t going to give it to him. He had other responsibilities too you know.

Expand ing the court won’t do anything if the senate won’t confirm your nominations.

A court case saying it’s their duty? That doesn’t make sense. The constitution doesn’t say they have to accept his pick. That’s the whole point of checks and balances, right?

Push a case that threatened national security? Are you high? That doesn’t sound like anything a responsible president would do.

Constitution says they have to be confirmed by the senate. He can’t just tell someone to go sit in the empty seat. That’s not how it works. Again, are you high?

While Obama might have been beholden to corporate interests, I think you’re just plain wrong on this one buddy.

It’s really interesting how whenever these blue MAGATs ask what more should be done, they get a long, practical, and legal list of actions that can be taken to fight fascism with or without GOP obstructionism.

And yet they have nothing to say about it every time.

Enjoy your shithole, liberals. I vote socialist, not capitalist.

No. Im just not interested enough in refuting each point.

Edit: That was also only post a couple of hours ago. So what? I need to respond to you idiots immediately? Fuck off
