The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday approved a power grab by corporate interests who want to strip federal agencies of their power to regulate public health, the climate and environment, worker protection and more. In the 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority overturned a precedent known as the Chevron doctrine, which established that judges should defer to federal agencies on interpreting a law if Congress did not specifically address the issue. We speak with Mustafa Ali, former head of the environmental justice program at the Environmental Protection Agency, who describes it as “a very devastating decision,” and to The Nation's justice correspondent, Elie Mystal. “It's taking power out of our hands, out of the democracy’s hands, and putting it in the hands of the court,” says Mystal, who also addresses other recent rulings from the court at the end of its term, including the highly anticipated ruling on presidential immunity.

Oh yeah these people really care about us while they're cutting children apart
There's nothing democratic about unelected agencies regulating our lives. You're defending the oligarchy not the people.
Yes!
Let’s have corporations regulate themselves that’s a great idea. Better yet let’s have a bunch of councils with untrained and uneducated citizens regulating pollution, product and food safety, aviation, and work place safety.
Well you’re defending the Oligopoly … I wonder which is worse … he says glancing at his Dickens collection
That's not how the laws work. The Congress created these agencies with specialists who know how to enact policy like how stupid the Supreme Court Justice was with gas issue. Only legal experts on clean air, clean water, food and health would know how to enact policy to reflect the law's requirements for such clean outcomes. Our Congress would be mired by decades of infighting born of ignorance by people like you. Congress only is able to learn so much about a subject hence why they defer to agencies to enact policies which help people and enforce the regulations born from their laws. What you are arguing for is insanity.
BESIDES.... WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY..... We are a Constitutional Republic.
Our economy is afflicted by uncertainty, housing troubles, foreclosures, global shifts, and the aftermath of the epidemic, all of which contribute to instability. To restore stability and drive growth, all sectors must urgently address rising inflation, slowing GDP, and trade disruptions.
The US dollar is losing value due to inflation, while other currencies are gaining strength, creating uncertainty. Nonetheless, many people remain confident in the Dollar's perceived safety. I'm concerned that my 420K retirement funds may lose value, therefore I'm looking for other financial stability.
With my stressful career, I don't have time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, responding to market situations, ensuring for effective navigation and informed decisions. Consider taking a similar plan of action.
Do you mind if I ask you to recommend the coach you employed? It seems you've figured it all out.
My CFA, 'Leah Foster Alderman', is a well known figure in her field. I recommend looking into her qualifications further. She has extensive knowledge and is a treasure trove for anyone seeking to manage the financial markets.
her handler was simple to locate and appears to be extremely capable and adaptable. We scheduled a phone conversation.
As a citizen, i dont feel represented by any of these stupid politicians
Well you should find who your senators and representative are, and interact with them, and participate in the democratic process. I mean my senators and representative are all a bunch of complete scum, but I still have a voice.
@@EndDimswe all have a voice, most politicians have no interest in our needs without some sort of incentive.
@@EndDimsOr sue the government to eliminate the Chevron ruling.😂
And No!
Her analysis is absurd!
The Chevron ruling was abused and used to terrorize companies into compliance.
For instance, the Apple farmers were taxed to support the regulation agency that put them out of business. The Apple growers send to Apples to the processors that take their cut and pay the growers what's left. The growers can't increase their prices to offset the tax and go under.
This is just one example of the abuse!!!
@@bradjones5107
So there was over-regulation.
Now there will be no regulation:
No regulation of water purity.
No regulation of food purity-meaning many customers outside the country will ban at least some of our food products.
No regulation of drug safety-medicine becomes a roll of the dice.
No pollution regulations-
cancer deaths, respiratory illness deaths, and heart attacks will climb.
No clean water-in rivers OR our drinking water.
Congress will now need to do their jobs, instead of this disgusting blue/red fight that gets us nowhere.
Don't expect Republicans to do anything except try to dismantle the government.
I respect the dems who go to work and have to interact with a political party that is seriously unbalanced. It's not a fight between red and blue those days are gone. It's now sane or not the magas are not sane
I'm going to try and contact the 3 judges that had brains, and get their recommendations on how to try and counter this garbage.
And probably writing or congressional reps, because I'm in political shock. My leftish center libral is shaking, and my constitutionally american asthmatic immunocompromised self is truly terrified.
They won’t
It’s a good thought, but the new Supreme Court only protects themselves and their criminal friends, this is very sad as they destroy the earth and all living things.
As stated, Congress needs to get off their arses and do their jobs as intended by the framers.
An how do you suppose they do that when Beijing Bidens department of Injustice, I'm sorry scum bag Obama's department of Injustice refuses to follow the constitution and Americans civil rights? Garland is a corrupt traitor to the American people that only does political hit jobs just like the rest of the Democrap socialist party an that being said the rino establishment isn't any better.
Alphabet Agencies are corrupt.
You can research. Starting with
Garland, Mayorkas, Schiff, Wray.
Blaming Congress is looking at
symptoms instead of viruses.
The Republicans are trying , but get blocked by DEMS.
Not going to happen unless we get republicans out of office.
Any laws they pass can be struck down by conservative lower courts and then struck down by this court next term. That’s the problem. But yes, I agree. Pass legislation immediately.
Explain to me how putting the regulations back into the hands of legislature is a power grab!
It doesn’t follow THEIR narrative
Because you can't let the wolf watch the henhouse. Next time a train rolls over and dumps 100,000 gallons of toxic waste into your water, do you want the EPA in charge of the clean up or some local judge that got a new motor home to rule in the railroads favor.
@@tjewett1967how is East Palestine working out? Oh, yeah, utter disaster. The federal government shouldn’t be involved in any of this! Defund all of these agencies.
Anyone who supports any federal agency after COVID has brain damage beyond repair
They really did not think this one through
@@tjewett1967because the EPA did so well in Ohio, right. Lol
Legislative branch creates law, judicial branch interprets law, executive branch enforces law. Corporations captured the regulatory agencies decades ago and use their corporate capture and chevron doctrine to create interpretations of law favorable to them. This HURTS corporations not helps them.
YES the regulations hurt smaller business where the corporations can absorb the costs and put their smaller competitors out of business.
This "news" outlet is a mouthpiece for Techno-Fascism... they love corporations and regulatory capture- so they won't comprehend this at all.
Of course, their darling corporations would never hurt a fly. 😂
This ruling will get rid of all beaurocratic rules not voted on by Congress and that is the workings of a representative Republic!!! God bless SCOTUS!!
The 3 parties of government have to be independent which won't happen under Project2025.
We are being set up for dictatorship.
They will find a way to use this to their benefit. Don't worry. They always do. As long as the government and big business have their hands in each other's pockets, they always will
Removing federal overreach has always been the constitutional mandate of the Supreme Court. The executive branch has NEVER had constitutional authority to rule by fiat ("rules"), established law ever since "Marbury vs Madison".
That's why tRumps fiat tax cut for the wealthiest .1% of Americans went through, they are so thoughtful and non corrupt!
FINALLY!! POWER RETURNED TO THE PEOPLE!! ABOUT TIME We will vote on what we want representatives positions to be!!
NOT LOBBYIST!! Agencies cannot speak for the people, but rather WORK FOR US, by.informing us, and letting us vote on any regulatory mandates!! Power must be given back to the people with full total transparency!!!
did you listen to the f.cking story? or ar you a
If you intend on voting for every regulatory mandate necessary to run the country you would spend your entire day voting and doing nothing else.
Do you really have an informed opinion on the proper protocol for strength of sonar broadcast during urgent but non-critical vessel movement in commercial ships engaged in intrafirm trade for domestic entities carrying second country manufactured products operated by third country staff between 10 and 12 nautical miles from shore?
Power is not in your hands. They took power from you and gave it all to corporations. And are you so naive to think business will have the public good in mind, or the quarterly stock dividends?
This is power returned to corporations you fool. It's playing into the hands of the billionaires that paid off the court.
So now those federal agencies have been reined in and congress members will have to do their job as the constitution deems!!!
Now Congress CAN do their jobs !
Heads of Alphabet Agencies
are currently IN Contempt of Congress, ignoring Subpoenas.
@@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7scyou mean the Republican representatives that refuse to answer subpoenas
Isn't it because when politicians decide matters involving money and cost, it is like an open path to corruption?
Being a modern politician is selling the people that you care about them while being a self interested as you can get away with.
Not a power grab. Power should rest with elected officials, NOT a bunch of UN-elected bureaucrats responsible to no one.
THIS!!! 💯 It's too late,they own everyone now
Actually.... the power should rest solely with the people, the elected officials simply represent us. That's why the 10th Amendment is so awesome.
You just described the SCOTUS.
hey hi what the fuck do you think the unelected judges who serve life terms are
The supreme court judges are un-elected
What actually happened with the strike down of Chevron is that Congress makes law, not agencies. If they want a law they go to congress. Simple as that. Unelected employees of government agencies should not make laws (regulations).
Congress doesn't have the time, staff, or expertise to do that. That's why they delegate. It's kind of like when a dad says follow the babysitter's rules. It would be impractical to run things any other way.
@yessum15 That's literally their job and that's what scotus recognized..If you want agencies making laws you should advocate for a constitutional amendment
@@onlyinamerica4916 There's a difference between a law and a regulation. I want legislators writing laws and regulators writing regulations.
Next up let's sue the government for term limits and age limits for all politicians.
You have people in Congress, who are complete idiots, but are popular in their own state. They do not have the interest of the country at heart, and they do not have the expertise to regulate on the matters that have been delegated to the EPA.
Completely unworkable, the judiciary is going to be log-jammed with rule challenges and Congress will be completely unable to legislate
Uh, the regulations of agencies shouldn’t be off limits to constitutional scrutiny. Congress would just write vague laws intentionally to prevent judicial review of federal agencies.
You're talking sense to a leftist. They are beyond redemption.
Chevron never prevented judicial review of regulatory agencies. It simply allowed the agencies built for the express purpose of translating legislation into action the first crack at interpreting the legislation. The judiciary still operated as the ultimate backstop under Chevron.
This decision simply says that things will continue to operate in the same way, but the Judiciary should deprioritize the regulatory agency's expertise relative to the opinion of private interests and the judge's own gut feeling.
Just like how judges can interpret the law, in fields they have no knowledge of, in any way they want
It's time to go back to America first without the interference of unelected beurocrats and criminals after jan20 2025 alot of them will mysteriously self delete because they know too much 🙄check Hillarys phone pings after jan20 2025 😂🇺🇸
Uh, Congress is filled with people who have NO education in science, technology, or medicine. They have NO ability to make informed decisions on policy regarding those subjects. THINK next time before you spout nonsensical propaganda.
"Federal Agencies" do not pass legislation. This type of activity is intended for the people to decide through our representatives in Congress. If our nation feels that an issue warrants federal regulation, the PEOPLE need to decide, not 'experts' at three letter agencies. Our government has become too large, with too much power, and we need to get back to limited government with accountability. This is not a partisan issue.
Well said
Bingo.
You need people, technocrats, that know what theyre talking about instead of policies determined by the smoke and mirrors of political bureaucracy. Policy makers and especially the megaphone that speaks to the masses do not understand the technical nuance of very specific issues.
@@polkunus That's the role of advisors, staff, and lobbyist to work with our representatives and legislatures for technical understandings.
Separations of powers are a thing for a reason and alphabet agencies having all three with no accountability to congress was bs.
@@polkunus To have genuine authority in an area the best approach is to bring in "laymen", people who work in that field/industry. Instead our government brings in "experts" provided by lobbyists, NGOs and big corporations and our bureaucrats sit in offices and read papers written by the same "experts" or by people with degrees who have little experience in the field but are receiving kickbacks, grants and paychecks from the same special interests. The politicians get paid by the lobbyists and the bureaucrats retire from .Gov to go work at cushy overpaid jobs for the same companies they used to police. Then people blame anything but the broken, incompetent, corrupt systems and claim that what we need is MORE instead of reform... When was the last time you saw someone in Washington, DC bring in a poor dirty farmer or rancher to ask them what government could do to make their life better (or quit interfering with their productivity)? It doesn't happen because their intent isn't to make things better and once you understand that everything else becomes apparent.
This is exactly what was needed decades ago. I am glad that it came to a head and has now been decided. We The People, not Them the Bureaus.
Tell that to the families of those who die in train accidents because they have no regulations
@@cindypyle7047 Regulations are fine, when they are PROPERLY placed by AUTHORIZED authorities. This ruling fixes the holes. Only the Carte Blanche ability to do stuff like lockdowns is gone.
funny he was talking about laughing gas, i wish i fucking had that right now to take my mind off this fascist hellscape
Awesome news.
Agencies have Not a Drop of Constitutionality to Create Law.
Make our Congress drop campaigning to carry out their Constitutional Duties.
Alphabet Agencies are currently in
“Contempt of Congress”
Garland, Mayorkas, Schiff, Wray
Awesome news until a rail car dumps 80,000 gallons of toxic waste in your yard.
Please explain how you will get Congress to stop campaigning and start making actual needed legislation?
The role of the courts is explicitly to interpret the law.
That's what they did.
No what they did is legislate from the bench. Some are just clueless about how laws were designed to work. This Court isn't clueless, just corrupted. @@chocomalk
@@samstewart9249 So when SCOTUS agrees with you, it's a good thing, when it disagrees with you, it's a bad thing. Got it.
@@samstewart9249 It stopped regulatory agencies from creating law by fiat.
Wrong! Ever heard of case law?
Awesome, it's about time to strip the power from unelected bureaucrats.
Couldn't agree with you more Maria! Thank God the tables are finally turning. So sick of the twisted gestapo left . Nevertheless , I disagree that homeless people should not be allowed to be able to sleep on the street.
Unfun facts. The majority of homeless people in the US have jobs, and nationally, on average, there are 33 empty homes per homeless person. However, there's many more in some states. Mississippi is the worst with 250 vacant homes per homeless person.
It takes the power from these corrupt government and agencies and puts the power back in the hands of the people. The federal government agencies overreached and this is a great ruling
WE are the PEOPLE WE are waiting for.

@@Serai3 Bidens second term will start with an expansion of the court, along with term limits, if we can get Mike "johnson" out of the way. He is like a puppet, sitting on donnies lap, waiting to have his string pulled so he can go confess his arousal to his son.
@@Serai3There is nothing we can do aside from voting while we still can - unless we find some billionaires that can outspend corporate and religious interests. Sadly, I don’t think any exist.
No, this keeps unelected administrative people from setting law. Congress needs to pass laws that are more specific about the powers they are giving agencies.
The ruling protects unelected oligarchs from accountability from abuses in the workplace and of the environment.
Who elected these judges? Nobody lmaooo. Id rather have specialized agencies make laws for the subjects they intimately know instead of activist judges who do whatever corporate interests want. No shit corporate interests can infiltrate fed agencies but acting like the judiciary is someone exempt from that influence is hillarious. Nobody is coming to help you
Sounds like you're on board with Project2025. Led by the rightwing Heritage Foundation, the project showcases a federal government that cracks down intensely on immigration, vanquishes LGBTQ+ and abortion rights, diminishes environmental protections, overhauls financial policy.
@@Thurnishaley6969id rather the country work as intended. Where the house and Senate makes laws, the court interprets laws, and the president signs laws.
No unconstitutional laws being made by unelected unauthorized agencies.
@@Rhythmiconswhen the ultimate arbiter is the supreme Court HOW ARE THEY ELECTED?

True!
😂😂😂 these people, "taking the power away from the people" by empowering the citizens to be part of the laws congress passes? Those "unelected judges" are millions of time better than "unelected bureaucrats in agencies without authority to legislate"
Not when they are controlled by a maga whacko who is soley driven by a profit mindset and thats all…..however, this just shows how all democrats must vote out all right wing conservatives down the ballot for years and years……president Biden must enlarge the supreme court and because of the ruling that a president has amunity for all acts done in office thanks to this same supreme court, Biden should give seal team six a call later on this afternoon so they can take care of a problem or two.
Tf are u talking ab. This didn't give US any say in this, all it did was strip the EXPERTS from being included in the discussion. There is a reason why we have a federal and state government, people are stupid af.
Ha ha! Losers finally losing is a breath of fresh air 💋
40 years of agencies regulating American businesses, farmers, small business owners, ordinary citizen. I cannot fathom the amount of money spent and lost due to those regulations. 40 years, almost my entire adult life, of unconstitutional regulations years have affected almost every American. These agencies should have never had this power. The country will survive. The EPA should not control the life of Americans.
Not to mention the ATF turning law abiding citizens into felons overnight and the IRS making new unfair tax rules and STEALING from citizens.
Many of those regulations you hate impact people's health and safety. Without them corporations would still be killing us because they won't regulate themselves. So watch what happens now. Workplace safety? Fuck you. Drug safety? Fuck you. Food safety? Fuck you.
Power grab? For nearly 200 years the federal courts interpreted federal statutes. How is returning to that practice a power grab?
This takes power from unaccountable bloated agencies and returns it to the people or Congress. how is this a bad thing?
It takes power from the federal government to regulate and sells it to business oligarchs.
@@Rhythmiconswrong. What this decision does is restore the checks and balances that were intended in the formation of our government. Prior to it the executive branch had jurisdiction over agencies that had the ability to be the legislative branch and the judicial branch. By reversing this decision the agencies now only have the power to enforce the law. Congress has to write the laws and the judicial branch has to interpret the laws. It’s separating power and if anything it makes it harder for bureaucrats to corrupt the system. Because they would be required to corrupt all 3 branches and not simply the president or someone at one of these agencies.
@@Rhythmicons So, it takes it away from oligarchs and gives it to different oligarchs. Except the new oligarchs are the ones we voted for to do this job.
Oh noes! What a disaster! Reeeeeee!
It's only bad if you're a corrupt establishment politician.
@@Kahless_the_Unforgettable the real Kahless would understand.
Hahahahahaha watching the communist left rage is hilarious!
Great decision from the Supreme Court. Agencies and bureaucrats should not be making the laws. We saw how well that went during Covid. Things got tyrannical pretty quickly.
Okay. I already did consumer' action after reading. My second time. My first passed for bank fees, help.
Of course the supreme Court did the right thing. We do not need unelected bureaucrats making our rules
IF a law is too ambiguous, it is up to the legislation branch to fix it, not allow unelected bureaucrats to run wild.
Oh no! How are we going to implement woke policies now??? The Supreme Court has no right to take away power from unelected administrators that make regulations. Arrgggghhhhhhhhh
No, just those willing to bow to an attempted insurrectionist
@@michaelccopelandsr7120 They did not surrender to the democrats. Evidence has come out that there was fake ballots and such that would have swayed the election the other way, meaning that the ones doing the insurrection was the democrats.
@@michaelccopelandsr7120 I have bad news. The insurrection happend 61 years ago and their puppets on both the right and left have been running the clown show since.
Bull! Federal agencies have been assuming regulatory powers not granted them by the federal legislature.It's called regulatory" creep".
Agencies fall under congressional control. Not judicial. Judges do not 16:03 administer laws. They interpret when cases are brought in front of them. This will cause court cases to pile up, delaying processing those breaking regulations so that by the time a case gets to the Supreme Court, companies can have made their profits, done their damage, and dissolved with the executives laughing all the way to the bank and no recourses for people left in company slime
Now people can actually hold federal agencies accountable, wow can you imagine my shock that DN thinks this is bad.
It should be called: "Democracy" Now 😂
not for the people they are for "mob" rule
@@StephanosBlack 😂 perfect.
Gorsuch stating nitrous oxide instead of nitrogen oxide is the epitome of precisely why deference to experts is absolutely necessary and the Chevron doctrine should have been upheld. Judges are not experts in environmental issues!!!
I don’t see taking power away from the 3 letter agencies as that bad.
Government bureaucrats should not be making laws regulations that affect everyday citizens and make our lives miserable. Good for the court
Chevron deference handed governmental powers to non-elected bureaucrats who have zero accountability. Chevron deference being removed is the greatest return of power to the people they could have done.
And that's exactly why the government, run by non-elected bureaucrats mainly, are commanding "Democracy Now!" propaganda outlets to call it a "Power Grab" and complain about it. The establishment order does not like to see the strangulation stop until we're fully dead. The establishment order is upset at the people because of a slight reigning in of their power.
It's not like they don't have 15 back channel ways to do the same thing they've always done to us, they just hate that anyone stands in their way.
It gave power to Specialist who knows more than the majority of people. That took power away from voters to elect people to talk with the Specialists and keep our water,air and land clean. The Supreme Court is not a Specialist and not a legislative body. Right now it is not recommended to have pregnant mothers or children to eat fish caught in the lakes of Minnesota. The lake's have too much mercury in them. Once clean lakes in my State are becoming swamp's because of run off of fertilizer. They were beginning to make progress by going after the polluters but the Supreme Court by overturning Chevron gave polluters the right to pollute. I wouldn't eat fish out of any Minnesota lake.😢
This is sad! The unraveling of every aspect of the government that I thought would be safeguarded by law, i.e. voting rights, environmental rights, rights that should be left up to the liberty of the individual, whatever that may be, be “gutted”. It’s crazy.
don't know why so many people on the internet seem pleased by this. this is what the agencies' job is, to INTERPRET law with guidance from experts in that area. Why are we collapsing 3 branches of government into 2? It's impossible for judges to be versed in EVERY ISSUE facing Americans, and impossible for congress to anticipate every question and nuance that may be brought up by every law. And guess what, the presidential administration that YOU get to vote into office appoints the heads of these agencies. Hence why the EPA under Scott Pruitt did jack for the environment. Now, it's going to be the say of unelected judges who serve LIFE terms, so they basically just deputized themselves with an insane power grab and they're going to be there until they die. If you like this now, don't whine if you live to see the supreme court have a majority of justices who lean against your own ideological preferences, and they get the power to decide interpretations of complex technical issues however the hell they want.
You seem confused as it was the other way around. An agency's job is to enforce the law, the court's job is to interpret. Interpreting law is literally the supreme court's sole job. Experts still play a role, but they will now have to influence politicians which is good because politicians are accountable to the public. Those agencies are not accountable to the public.
Power is the key word here. I’ve heard you say the word power too much! Narcissists accuse others of what they are doing.
Don't kill babies

I had an abortion and it was the best decision of my life
It truly is a horror in our country when we have more homeless brothers and sisters and instead of reaching out with help our Supreme Court justices takes more away
Cool - the congresscritters will actually have to take stances and vote on regulations - they’ll no longer be able to deny accountability by saying "the agencies regulate those things - my hands are tied and I can’t do anything. It’s not MY fault!"
Well if you want to call the absolute solemn law of the land "living, breathing" despite centuries of precedent, then pshaw to mere decades of precedent. At any rate it's not the corporations that are glowing at the removal of agency authority for HEALTH; it's human beings. If anyone doesn't think the agencies forfeited the responsible privilege of that role, pffffffft.
Totally MISLEADING version of what the SCOTUS Ruling does. It simply forces the Congress to MAKE Laws...
Administrators who are NOT Elected have ZERO Authority to simply Make Rules with the Force of Law behind it..

The job of the Supreme Court is not to make laws but to interpret them to the letter of the law
Is it federal agencies job to interpret the law? Kind of a weird argument.
That's exactly what they did!
The constitution says Congress makes law, not unnamed, faceless unelected bureaucrats.
@@tonymccoy5032Only a libtard would refer to the Supreme Court as an agency.
The court is upholding the constitution. Agencies never should have had power to make policy. That's congress's domain. Agencies are the enforcement, not the policy makers.
The 4th Branch of Government
just got it’s death sentence.
Times change, and with time so do people; and as people change, the behavior of the individual and society ALSO change... but the forms of govt are kept the same. Why would be a govt needed if not to curve the misbehavior of the constituents of society? Wouldn't this imply that forms of govt should be adaptable in order to cope with the behavioral changes brought on by the change of time? What is worst yet, is that the malice acquired by certain elements of the financial power structure of society, use their MEAN$ to SUBVERT key individuals within the branches of govt, to turn or interpret laws in favor of their own personal and financial interest or those of their share holders.
SO MANY new technology that exist, yet our forms of govt are as archaic and crude as they were back in the Roman times. As traditional values, such as morality, self-restaint, respect, etc., are being debased, what USED TO ONCE deter people, now either means nothing or is being validated by en mass action; meaning that what was once illegal now is being PUSHED to be legalized by the coercion exercised by the influence of those who have something to gain.
We need more drastic deterrents, or those whose behavior the government was intended to regulate will ultimately end up FULLY regulating govt... not for the good of the people, but for the good of themselves.

power grab? or returning power back to the people
Explain how it's not a power grab plz

How exactly does this give power to the people? People elect judges?
Regarding the delay on Jan 6 matters… Captain Jack took his time with the case about the incident from Jan 2020… maybe because they want to make sure it messes with the election.
No doubt about it

The same reason why you don't make a NFL referee a MLB Umpire is why you shouldn't rule this way. Politician's and judges aren't required to be subject matter experts on anything that they are ruling on.

Good Lord, who are these tree huggers, love our SC. They are GREAT !!
The SC is made up of detached boomers
😭 liberal tears.
Oh these people are not liberals, they are leftists, Marxists, and call the Stasi on you Communists.
50 years ago was my (3rd) third Non-Violent/Victimless DUI ... (Pullover arrests)
All three offenses were VOID OF VICTIM, INCIDENT, ACCIDENT, and DAMAGED PARTY.
After serving (6) years as a front-line Marine during the Iranian crisis (1979), (Before having a wife, children, and grandchildren) returning to civilian life (Honorable Discharge) was difficult...
After 50 years as a prohibited person can the Bruen decision help this 67-year-old Marine regain his gun right for family and home protection?
When DUI arrests have NO victim, NO incident, NO accident, and NO damaged party, the 2nd Amendment "Right/Privilege" should never be "eternally abrogated"!
- USMC (Semper Fidelis) SGT E-5 (5811)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Regulatory overreach returned to the people's representatives. Sounds like "democracy" to me
If these leftists are throwing a hissy fit over these rulings, then I'm happy with them.
Divide and conquer... 🐏
So they did such a great job in Flint, Michigan. Is that what you’re saying? They had clean water to drink while who was in charge? And who said to burn all the chemicals on the train, who was that the people that are in control now never mind Hawaii come on people
This decision has confirmed that the majority on this court doesn't care at all about the health and wellbeing of our citizens
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Court took power away from buricrates.
Democracy Now! Which includes the use of kangaroo courts to get rid of political enemies 😆
Government now has less control over its citizens 🎉🎉
The biased justice's need to go back to law 101 for a refresher class. They are so wrong in their interpretation of the constitution. Too bad those false headlines about Thomas, Alito and others quitting need to be ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY TRUE!!!!!
Marx, Lenin, et al would be proud of this "unbiased" reporting!
What kind of reporting is biased and what does this have to do with marx or lenin
Remember the "scientists" even after reviewing the data still believed the Alaska pipeline would decimate the Caribou, when the reality was the herds were increased by a third.
If an UNELECTED AGENCY has a concern, they need to prove their concerns to the elected officials to make final decisions and not just make up their own laws!
And they wonder why young people aren’t having children 🙄
Because young people have been on social media their entire life and have become nothing but attention whores and narcissists. Everything is "me me me"
And that was a horrible decision back in 1984. Federal regulations coming from Federal agencies that act as law is stupid. Congress makes law, not agencies. What part of the Constitution do you not understand in that matter? Unless, your real fear is that the age of overreach is done.
Not this Congress! Hell, they can't even tie their penny loafers.
Oh, left out, Happy Bannon Incarceration Day! Fireworks later this week in celebration!
Same can be said for Gambling.
Ashley, while a minor, showered with sniffy the pedo. Top that.
@@samstewart9249 Then vote for different people!!! Stop thinking, "My guy isn't the problem". Yes he is! If it's not getting done, get someone else in there that will actually do the job!
Jeez! It's not that freaking difficult! I'm a Republican, but I vote against worthless Republicans all the time. I can recognize when "My guy" is the problem.
Wake up.
Government shouldn't be regulating pubic health as a way to receive it. You want that? Move to Cuba.
Your pubic hair is showing
I definitely don't want my pubic health regulated 😂
@@thruntroll2983 You think it is? How many gerbils lined up for the covid shot? That's regulated?
@@seandoherty1507 You're very special, aren't you
@@seandoherty1507 You typo'd public to pubic, as in pubic hair in case you don't know what pubic means.
Courts sytem are a bad joke.
Give them $ and gifts to make decesions for many millions.
by delaying the ruling on trump, the supreme court is simply saying that this is an issue that should be decided politically in the november election, not by a court that wasnt elected by the people.
Shorter version: The Court has saved Trump, kneecapped Smith, and set up the conditions for an elective monarchy.
$525 billion to Ukraine and $750 billion to illegals and $700 to Maui people that’s your president America
Let's not forget the Two Billion in Saudi Money Given Too Jarod Kussner.
If they gave money to Hawaii youd call it communism too because your ass didnt get shit
OK. But you somehow left out the billions given to Israel. Intentional?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're a clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't 4get 33 billion for illegal housing an only 13 Million for veterans housing. The Beijing Biden regime an Democrap socialist party r outright treasonous trash that deserves a short drop an a sudden stop how bout it. TRUMP 2024 SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
if this doesn't show that we are living in a fascist state I really do not know what else the people need to get off their asses and take OUR government back.
Did the commentators actually read the opinion?
democrat activist judges have been doing this for 50 years.
Legal Eagles are talking about Judge Merchan who ruled the
Trial in NYC against Trump.
Entire Case is “UN-Precedented”
is the unanimous judgement on
Judge Merchan.
Blatant Political Persecution.
It's so nice to know our country is being run by such competent ethical people, it helps me sleep so well at night, it's not like I wake up every 2 hours to check the news for our impending doom 😅
Totally MISLEADING version of what the SCOTUS Ruling does. It simply forces the Congress to MAKE Laws...
Administrators who are NOT Elected have ZERO Authority to simply Make Rules with the Force of Law behind it..
Re: EPA, CDC, BATF etc.
Since when is over turning bad law a bad thing, or do some of the people here think Plessy V Ferguson should still be law.
Unelected bureaucrats have no right to make regulations for me. The constitution states that is the job of congress alone.
One of the best rulings the SCOTUS has ever made. The 3 letter agencies are very political and change the rules in the middle of the game. The legislative branch makes the laws according to the Constitution, not the 3 letter agencies under the executive branch
This gets rid of the bureaucrat agencies and keeps them from making laws that no one votes for. this is a good thing.
Keep in mind that Mitch McConnell spent his entire time as majority leader assigning new judges to courts across the country, this was definitely the plan all along
