  1. first time I’ve ever been the first person responding other than the bot!
    just gonna say that, that’s all

  3. I hope others noticed the parallels between Project 2025’s agenda and this recent ruling.

    SCOTUS broke 40 years of precedent to hand the courts more power and take away the authority of certain independent agencies that are much better equipped to interpret ambiguous laws and complex regulations (agency staff—discluding heads of agencies—are not political appointees, but *employed* due to their competency and specialized expertise, which also helps prevent complex laws from being poisoned by partisanship or made deliberately vague to fit an agenda).

    While one of Project 2025’s main goals is to dismantle the “administrative state,” and put most formerly independent agencies under direct control of the President, unintentionally (or not) also creating a crisis of incompetence. In other words, both of these things bring about a similar outcome.

    Republicans are arguing that Project 2025 is just a made up democrat conspiracy, while its policies are already being implemented.

    There’s also a kind of cognitive dissonance in the fact that conservatives are downplaying Project 2025 while they actively and unknowingly support measures that can quite literally be taken out of the Project 2025 playbook, *Mandate for Leadership*.

  4. Senator Elizabeth Warren and a group of ten senators have introduced a bill in response to a recent Supreme Court decision overturning the Chevron deference doctrine. The bill, named the Stop Corporate Capture Act, aims to reinstate Chevron deference, which allows federal agencies to interpret laws and create regulations. It also proposes several reforms to enhance the regulatory process:

    1. Creating an office to increase public participation in agency rule proposals.

    2. Mandate for agencies to respond to public petitions on rules with at least 100,000 signatures.

    3. Establishment of time limits for regulatory review.

    4. Expansion of the factors agencies must consider in cost-benefit analyses for new rules, including non-quantifiable aspects like fighting discrimination.

    Senator Warren argues that the bill is crucial to prevent “far-right, unelected judges” from undermining Congressional intent and allowing corporate interests to dominate government decisions. The legislation aims to bring transparency and efficiency to federal rulemaking, ensuring that regulations protecting the public interest are upheld. The bill has received support from senators like Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey and advocacy groups and unions concerned that the Supreme Court’s ruling tilts power in favor of corporations, potentially undermining public protections.

  5. a judicial coup is occurring and paying attention is labeled as “alarmist” fuck you pay attention

  6. Too bad it won’t go anywhere. I wish it would but it will never make it to the floor of the house.

  9. “Old lady/man introduces bill that will never pass” is the new “old man yells at cloud”.

  11. if things worked well in america SCOTUS has basically no power. that is why it was a seat for life. SCOTUS says a law can’t be used for X make new law that is expressly meant for X life goes on.

    the only snag in this is when the point to the constitution but that isn’t the case 99% of the time.

  13. It’s sometimes hard to tell the Senate is open for business.

  14. and I am sure Joe Manchin lead the filibuster e-mail spree.

  15. On all that was lost on focusing on Biden debate performance- this one is huge.

    SCOTUS literally is trying to do a land grab on federal gov’t by stating *judges* are policy experts, not the non-partisan federal employees who work in the industry.
