  1. They’re destroying this country. Trump will deliver the final blow if he wins with decades of a conservative majority in SCOTUS

  2. It’s a rogue court dismantling government institutions to the redcaps benefit. Vote out maga for the survival of the country.

  3. My message to the double haters is this. Don’t vote for the candidates, vote for the *lifetime* SCOTUS appointments.

  4. This is insanity, but Could you even imagine what happen if the GOP had a supermajority in Congress?!? We need to vote every member of the Republican Party out of power and reclaim the courts from the unelected culture warriors who have captured it. Fuck the GOP

  6. They are taking away the next administration’s ability to actually do anything. Literally anything.

  8. Chaos feels like the goal at this point. This will be like how the “failure” of public schools, following decades of underfunding, is being used to justify privatization of public education.

    When the government can no longer deliver public policy objectives, such as environmental and consumer protections, via effective regulatory tools it will become the justification for either eliminating regulatory oversight by, and on behalf of, the public or completely privatizing it altogether.

    Just wait until you get the regulatory equivalent of the Donda Academy brought to you by the BP Bureau of Marine Protection or the Ticketmaster Department of Consumer Affairs and Protection.

  10. You don’t have a country anymore, friends. All of these decisions will cause a redistribution of voters as democrats move the fuck out of red states and republicans consolidate power in the states they already control. States will begin sanctioning each other and some will begin ignoring the supreme court’s decisions. Schism is inevitable at this point and a cold civil war will disintegrate the union. Look the fuck out, Alaskans, Putin is watching.

  11. …the bought federalist on the Supreme Court are setting up Project 2025…Biden/Harris need to address this

  13. And you can bribe them do they’ll legislate from the benches the way you want

    The Kochs are probably happy with their return 

  15. This must be *another* change in status quo that people craved and desired when they screamed “DoN’t thReatEn Me wiTh thE SupReme CoUrt” and not vote for Hillary in 2016 🤔

  16. Ffs. Whatever the merits of the decision, it only reinforced the separation of powers, ensuring that the power of statutory interpretation remains firmly with the judicial branch.

    Sad to see that TNR has turned into garbage clickbait.

  17. Just another day of domination by the three justices who were appointed to the court by a convicted felon and rapist.

  18. The courts are about to be so full of challenges.

  19. No worries. After some initial chaos, SCOTUS will add civil servants to their operations to take over the work of the executive completely.

  20. We need a long term plan to encourage patriotic Americans to move en masse to about 5 of the less populated red states and give us a 60 vote majority in the senate and whatever majority can be mustered in congress.

    What we are seeing didn’t happen overnight. This took the conservatives around 20-30 years of grooming their base to think the desires of CEOs were their own. We need a 20 year plan to end the Republican advantage in Congress. With a dependable majority in congress for even just 4 years we could undo everything the conservatives have done, yank every conservative activist off the Supreme Court, enshrine agency independence, restore and expand Roe, and everything else we have to unfuck. people moving to Wyoming, Montana, West Virginia, the dakotas and then PR and DC statehood. There’s no other way forward than to attack the conservative advantage in state representstion

  21. What people don’t realize, is this was the plan all along.

    This is just the beginning.

  23. When James Madison wrote the Federalist Paper #51, he argued that the court would be checked by Congress, who could vote to approve members & who also could impeach them.

    Further, he thought that the court would respond to public opinion & so also be checked by the public’s acceptance or rejection of rulings.

    Alas he was wrong. He couldn’t imagine that political parties would conspire across branches to seize total control of government, preventing impeachment.

    Later Hamilton was asked “who guards the guardians?” In terms of SCOTUS. He replied it wasn’t an issue, because having neither control of “the sword or the purse” they would be harmless.

    He could not imagine a court that was devoted to the destruction of liberty & not its preservation.

    So our current SCOTUS problem is alas baked into the limitations of our overly idealistic Founders.

  24. I haven’t seen an article in support of this ruling. I can’t imagine what reasons you’d have for supporting it so I’m curious on what people for this decision cite.

    What are the pros? Just that unelected people setting the rules? But at least in the financial sector aren’t the CFPB enforcing laws?

    Anyway, if you’re more adept at Google…

  25. Strangely enough, they might have just accidentally legalized drugs on a federal level with this dumbass decision. The DEA is a regulatory agency, and they just gutted the abilities of federal agencies to regulate. So, while this is a shit decision for numerous reasons, they might have just fucked this particular regulation majorly.

  26. The United States ended in 2016 when Trump took power. Glad I made it out in time.

  27. Trying to educate myself more about politics, so does this ruling mean that more power is being given to federal instead of states. It sounds like the government is trying to take back more control

  28. We can just stop listening to them. They can’t enforce shit.

  31. In the same week they legalized bribery and gave themselves more opportunities to be bribed. What an amazing coincidence!

  32. The overturning of Chevron is absurd. The executive should ignore the ruling, especially when it concerns matters of health, safety and the biosphere itself.

  33. These decisions are going to lead to extremism. Simply because they’re giving very little recourse other than the extreme options available to people; when someone declares themselves King, and the people around them agree because they “don’t want to make a fuss”, and give them the keys to the kingdom, what else is a peasant to do?

    I see an American Troubles in the future if this isnt pushed against by Biden and Congress, except with far more guns. Either that or we’re heading to a corporate-owned state similar to Cyberpunk media. But without any of the cool stuff

  34. There should be mass protests over this and more focus on this then the debate. Republicans are crushing our country. 

  35. Republicans destroy everything they get power in and our country has been in decline every damn time. Their voters never learn, slugs for salt filling the swamp for the last 50+ years.

  36. The SCOTUS is on the payroll of the people backing Project 2025. A convicted felon rapist piece of shit appointed some of them. Trump’s appointees should be removed full stop. The GOP is compromised by foreign agents looking to dismantle the USA from the inside out. If this doesn’t stop now, it will not stop later.

  37. The executive branch needs to ignore the courts.

    To the people saying that would be unprecedented, so is this court’s power grab.

  38. But Susan Collins told me that she was told by Brett Kavanaugh that legal precedent was sacred to him!?
