| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer the House and Senate is so important. The Supreme Court on Friday reduced the power of executive agencies by sweeping aside a longstanding legal precedent, endangering countless regulations and transferring power from the executive branch to Congress and the courts. Smh |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer The precedent, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the most cited in American law, requires courts to defer to agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes. There have been 70 Supreme Court decisions relying on Chevron, along with 17k in the lower courts. |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer The decision is all but certain to prompt challenges to the actions of an array of federal agencies, including those regulating the environment, health care and consumer safety.The vote was 6 to 3, dividing along ideological lines. |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer “Chevron is overruled,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority. “Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority.” |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan said the ruling amounted to a judicial power grab. “A rule of judicial humility,” she wrote, “gives way to a rule of judicial hubris.” |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer Justice Kagan summarized her dissent from the bench, a rare move and a sign of profound disagreement. “Courts, in particular this court, will now play a commanding role” in setting national policy, she said.The court has overturned major precedents in each of the last three terms: on abortion in 2022, on affirmative action in 2023 and now on the power of administrative agencies. |
|
| JoeDaDemocrat - Ayer Justice Kagan responded that Chevron was, until Friday, vibrant and valuable. “It has become part of the warp and woof of modern government,” she wrote, “supporting regulatory efforts of all kinds — to name a few, keeping air and water clean, food and drugs safe, and financial markets honest.” |

| blakcaviar - Ayer And we thought overturning Roe v. Wade was SCOTUS's worst failure. Corporate benefactors giving gifts and million $$ trips to far right corrupt judges are paying off. |
