Until the Dems have the majority in both houses this is just more grandstanding to fire up the base during an election year and nothing more
Would have been really interesting to see a Warren presidency. Chevron is a colossal clusterfuck for regulation.
She would have been 35 when Chevron was made precedent.
Sadly, the belief in the courts and precedent is another example of democrats not living in reality. They could have made this a law years ago, but assumed it would stay precedent because that’s what judges believe in. So, again, they are caught on their back foot playing catch up.
Why are Dems so hungry for power?
Just FYI this ruling would effectively negate a large portion of Project 2025 which seeks to put far right loyalists in those federal agencies. Careful what you wish for. Dems never can seem to get out of their own way.
Hell no
Chevron 7 is locked.
Biden should just do it. He has the power now.
The Chevron ruling was a power grab by the Judicial Branch from the Legislative and the Executive. The Legislative branch has to pass a law and have it signed by the Executive to counteract that grab, but Republicans think it’s a left/right issue
Warren, Tim Wu, Lina Khan capitalism >>>
Anyone else think this whole sub is filled with liberal bots??? I’m more of a centrist at this point btw, just seeing a ton of Kamala apologists
This super majority bullshit we’re dealing with right now means virtually nothing gets done.
I am just getting so sick of these Dems being so reactionary! You knew when they had the majority on a Supreme Court we were going to lose abortion you weren’t prepared for it, you knew they were gonna come after gay marriage you’re still not prepared for it maybe Democratic leadership should Meditate and pray on the story of “the scorpion and the fox”.
Everything they do is so predictable!
The only real solution to the SCOTUS problem is a congressional super majority and Kamala in the WH.
Republicans have made the legislative branch ineffectual for far too long. We need all of our checks and balances functioning again.
Interestingly, more than just codifying *Chevron*, this bill would also effectively kill the Major Questions Doctrine, which has been a favorite tool of the Roberts Court in striking down agency action without even getting to *Chevron*. It’s too bad this bill won’t go anywhere in the House, as there’s a lot of good here.
Congress needs to do a lot of this. Supreme Court is a joke.
And what happens when SCOTUS says *that* law is unconstitutional?
Wow, they’re actually fucking doing their job
I’m a little aggravated at the choice of phrasing in the coverage here. The Congress isn’t really “trying to reverse” the SCOTUS ruling. SCOTUS clearly stated that the Congress can pass further legislation that changes the law, as is their mandate. Casting Warren and her co-legislators as some kind of reactionaries trying to undo this profoundly illogical ruling is disingenuous.
I don’t think you can just pass a law deciding how a co-equal branch of government is going to review certain cases. That’s poking the separation-of-powers bear.
Further, it’s poking the notice-requirement-of-due-process bear. Congress shouldn’t be so keen on outright admitting that certain laws that it actually wants to stay on the books are ambiguous. Of course they *are* ambiguous, but you don’t fuckin’ admit it!
Instead of attacking Bitcoin, it’s about time Elizabeth Warren work to fix the broken system.
So the President can do whatever they want but when he tells a regulatory organization to do something they can only follow the strictest sense of the law. None of this makes sense scotus.
Theatre. GOP controls the house.
It’s good to see congress do its work.
Conservatives have basically become a protest body and stop almost all codification of new law that would represent the people which has allowed the judiciary and specifically the Supreme Court to become highly political.
Hopefully the dems can win the executive, congress and senate and pass some fucking laws like ethics laws for the Supreme Court, term limits, age limits and expand the court to suit the expanded nation.
Democratic senators are trying to reverse a Supreme Court ruling that limits federal agency power. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s new bill aims to undo the court’s decision, proving once again that in politics, if you don’t like the rules, just change the game
Congress dong what it is supposed to do? Be still my beating heart.
Next, maybe they can get RvW codified.
So now it’s a good thing to have ambiguous regulations that can be re-interpreted at any time? Seems like a bad thing for companies that rely on regulations. Why wouldn’t regulations just be clear from the get go? Why do we have to allow this?
Until democrats control house, senate, and executive this is just a pipe dream.
We have a lot of work ahead to undo all the damage this corrupt Supreme Court has caused.
The desire to increase the unchecked power of agencies screams “anti-democracy” to me.
