Oh No! The Supreme Court's Overturning of the Chevron Doctrine Is "Hitting Regulators from Multiple Angles"

Axios whines: Won't someone think of the federal regulators?!!

Exactly 30 years ago, a Warren G hip-hop classic opened with the line "Regulators, mount up!" But now the Supreme Court is giving very different signals.
Why it matters: A 6-3 ruling Monday from the court's conservative majority brings even more jeopardy for expansive executive rules.

Oh no -- say it's not so. Don't tell me that the Court is going to force the Executive (and Congress, for that matter) to follow the biggest black-letter rule of the Constitution and demand that Congress, not unelected Deep State bureaucrats, make the laws. Or, as we've been deceptively calling them for 40 years, "the rules that fill in the teeny-tiny details of the laws."

Like deciding that the law says that bump stocks are illegal. Congress just forgot to mention that!

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

It's the latest of several decisions that together sap bureaucratic powers in areas where Congress hasn't given detailed marching orders.
Driving the news: The latest ruling holds that the six-year clock to bring Administrative Procedure Act claims doesn't start until a plaintiff is injured by an agency action, instead of when it's first finalized.

Oh no! Citizens will have more time to challenge obviously-unconstitutional Executive-made laws!

We undid the statute of limitations just so E. Jean Carroll could bring her outrageously absurd "rape" charges against Trump, but we draw the line at allowing citizens disadvantaged by an illegal Executive-made law to challenge it!

...
Catch up quick: Right before Chevron, SCOTUS stayed a recent EPA air pollution rule while challenges play out -- a move that some analysts say could spell trouble for other new agency policies.
And in 2022, the court's conservatives, in a case about power plant emissions, curtailed executive running room on "major questions" absent explicit Capitol Hill blessing.
The big picture: Conservatives, often backed by business groups, see today's court as a needed corrective, reigning in agencies using power in ways Congress never articulated.
But liberal justices and green groups, among others, say the court is preventing agencies and their technical experts from acting on emerging and evolving risks.

It seems like they both agree on what's going on -- liberal bureaucrats are writing stuff into the law that Congress never wrote itself, and liberals are pissed off that their illegal Fourth Branch of Government powers are being taken away.

So this is a game that's been going on decades. Former coblogger Senator Jack, who worked as a staffer to GOPers in Congress, complained of it constantly.

The left can't get the right to agree to their expansive regulatory laws. So what they do is just pass something in the area they want to regulate, and write in the bill's "intent" -- a non-binding statement with no effect -- that they'd like the law to accomplish A, B, and C.

Now that the liberal Deep State regulators have a law about that general area of human endeavor, they treat it like a spare, thin Christmas tree and begin hanging their ornaments of overreaching regulation all over it. Deep State lefties, and their conspirators in Congress, don't view the law as the law; they view the law as a mere scaffolding upon which they will erect the real law, the bureaucrat-made law.

The law is just a shell into which bureaucrats pour all their hopes and dreams, and plans and schemes.

And they're angry that this blatantly-unconstitutional practice is being reigned in. Not ended, mind you -- just reined in.

Update: Afternoon pendant points out that Axios wrote "reigned" when they meant "reined." Alas, I followed them in this error. Sorry to spread Cheap Fake Grammar.

I have more sad news for you: the beneficiaries of Biden's completely illegal loan forgiveness diktat may be the first victims of the evil Supreme Court's demand that Congress make the laws.

The Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling on Friday gutting a longstanding precedent that had given deference to federal agencies. The consequences of this decision will be felt broadly by Americans for many years. But student loan borrowers may be among the first to experience the impacts.

Because Biden's Executive fiat is illegal, so yes.

Following two major lower court decisions earlier this week that blocked key elements of a Biden administration student loan forgiveness and repayment program, the Supreme Court already seemed poised to eventually take up student debt relief yet again. But the latest ruling by the nation's highest court makes it even more likely that Biden's student debt relief plans, and potentially other student loan forgiveness and repayment programs, are now in very serious danger.

I'll give you some space. I know you need time to grieve.

91 An entire body of "administrative" law has been erased.

IANAL, but didn't SCOTUS explicitly say that the ruling wasn't retroactive? I take that to mean that all the crap that they've gotten away with in the last 40 years will have to be challenged on a case-by-case basis. And when something is, you know the lower courts won't actually follow Loper Bright doctrine so each case will have to be fought all the way back to the supremes where they may or may not follow their own ruling.

They are claiming this is the SCOTUS stealing power from the legislature, when really it is the SCOTUS stopping the Executive from stealing power from the Legislative Branch.

But they want to paint the courts as the bad guys since they want to justify seizing control of them too.
Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at July 03, 2024 04:22 PM (GgNUI)

=======

SCOTUS stole power from the executive, choosing to take the authority over whether regulations are valid or not away from the administration and into their own hands. They did this while saying that Congress has always had the power of legislation to make law and they should do more of it instead of writing bullshit law with no specifics in it.

130 "rein" comes from Latin retinere, to hold or retain or restrain

(I guess retain comes from retinere too)

directly it comes from the old french rene, which itself comes from retinere

"Reign" comes from the french reignier, which comes from the latin regnum, or king.

132 When my husband was in Law school and immediately afterward, he worked for the CFTC for about 10 years. When he was still fresh and starry eyed, he said out loud, "Really, we can fine someone $100k with literally zero due process?" An older asshole, who we think, looking back, had the hots for him but was very unrequited, freaked out and said, NEVER SAY THAT. You can ruin someone with no jury, because we say so.

He was happy with this SCOTUS decision. Perhaps he only knew it fresh off a constitutional law course, and before being steeped in the swamp but these turds have been doing this forever and wallow in the power while they live their little GS14 lives.

News of it dropped off after Democrats objected to the foreign money ban. It took me some searching to find a story that said that DeWine had actually signed it.

Talk had continued like Democrats had to meet the 8/7 deadline still, which made me think that the whole thing had fallen apart (the DeWine stuff was new to me today, but happened a month ago).

I do hope they do the 7/21 meeting gambit. I want to see all these Democrats demanding Biden step aside come back and talk about how he's the best president ever again.

157 The bureaucrats write regulations to do what the law doesn't allow them to do.
And when they can't pass the regulations, they write guidelines that let them do what the regulation doesn't allow.
And when the guidelines don't work, they selectively and/or hyper-technically enforce the guidelines or regulations to do what they want.

And all along the way, where everything was rigged for the bureaucrats to do what they want, was Chevron, forcing the courts to go along with whatever the agency said. No matter how far away from what the law originally said.

That's what they are whining about--the loss of their raw, unaccountable, unrestricted power.

I've been saying for a year that the source of the left's freakout over SCOTUS was the death of Chevron. It's been telegraphed for over a year that it's coming.

And yet, Loper was almost never actually spoken about because the True Believers couldn't give a shit. It's not abortion or affirmative action or something else.

Big money was probably much more invested in trying to protect Chevron, which helps with their regulatory capture, than anything else.

176 159 "White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Kamala Harris is the future of The [Democrat] Party"

Given the source and the timing, sounds like Biden is on his way out pretty soon. Big question - does he resign now and let her run as an incumbent President, or does he hang on to the office through the election?

It's far better for the Democrats and Kamala if he resigns now.

188 Remember, the case the Supreme Court heard was that of a family fishing business that was driven out of business because the National Marine Fisheries Service decided to start charging the business $700 a day to pay for "regulatory compliance".

Congress never said that the NMFS could charge people for "regulatory compliance". Mo matter - NMFS did it anyway, and under Chevron, there was no appeal of the charge.

On January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation. This is not a secret plan--far from it. It's part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one. These 900 pages lay out a Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.

271 I was in the Navy in the wake of Tailhook, when every unit had to do anti-sexual-harassment training. One year, my unit in Monterey did a video. And I got to play the sexual harasser who went to captain's mast.

They found some large-breasted new female recruit to play the harrassee. All I got to do was rub her shoulders and talk suggestively to her.

Still, one of my favorite roles as an amateur actor.

There are realistically only two choices for who can take Biden’s place, if you understand the psychology of the modern left: Kamala Harris & Michelle Obama.

Democrats knew full well that Biden may not make it to the end of his first term when they nominated him in 2020, yet they *still* picked a wildly unpopular, egregiously unqualified VP for exactly one reason: she was a “woman of color.”

If identity politics was their rationale back then, it’s their albatross now: they simply *can’t* pass over Kamala, or else that would admit they were wrong to prioritize identity politics over merit (which they obviously can’t do), so doubling down is their only option. This is about as crazy for me to say today as it was for me to repeatedly predict in early 2023 that Biden wouldn’t be the nominee. Let’s see what happens.

This means that those "experts" who now sit in federal agencies may in the future be hired by the Congress to put those rules and regulations into actual law. Hopefully this means they'll have to acquire an official party affiliation. Hopefully the Republicans will get some experts too. Hopefully Congress's budget will increase a bit, while the federal agencies' budget will shrink by a substantial amount.

347 Frank Herbert...in the "Chapter House" Dune book, had a character describing the Civilization ending role of the Bureaucratic cancer...and in doing so described "Laws" as controlling future behavior, instituted by Rulers, be they hereditary, appointed or elected, legislatures/parliaments, and/or heads of States.
'Regulations' on the other hand Control PAST behavior, via collecting funds and power from all of those things that the people commonly do, and using those monies and power to increase their OWN Bureaucratic fife.

356 There is a legitimate power vacuum now. Every motherfucker with a dream and an indexed array of skeletons and closets is going to be angling to get their faction ahead. They ain't going to just coronate some bitch because she used to pretend she was fucking a president for a living. If Biden drops out, it's going to be an absolute shitstorm of every nasty critter crawling out of the woodwork to get their own swipe at the scepter in.

There is no actual Unity within the Uniparty, despite its name. Sure, it's a monolith from the outside looking in, but... hoooo Nelly, shit might start to get interesting soon.

361 >> You do recall that Biden ran unsuccessfully for the nomination before, and that Kamala Sutra dropped out of the primaries without getting a single delegate, right?

Unpopular is one thing, divisive is another, and the VP slot is not the presidential slot. Harris brought support from Silicon Valley donors, and was the protégé of Willie Brown and his machine. The VP slot means far less than the top slot. Furthermore, Clinton is such a divisive figure, giving her either slot in this mess would almost guarantee failure. Having said that, these people are nuts so who knows?

372 Trump already made a major 1st step...look up "Schedule F".
He instituted into LAW the ability for the executive to FIRE anyone at any level, for ANY reason, if they are in a position to effect, institute, enforce, advance, study, or promote "Policy" within the administrative branch. Very Top to the very bottom.
EVERY agency, sub agency, related agency, contractor, HAS to compile, maintain and report to the named presidential overseer a constantly updated list of ALL individuals NOT Protected from being fired in some other verrrrry limited categories. And starting in 2022 those lists had to be delivered by Dec 18th every year. Updated upon demand(command) He signed it into law in 2020. It IS Law still. Of the 3000 people already on the list to come aboard inauguration day, there are many already tasked with "Schedule F" House cleaning.(Per Bannon)

Biden rescinded that Executive Order first thing.

Trump could bring it back, but it's not LAW---if it were, Presidents could not simply rescind them.

Congress makes the LAWS, as the Court just reminded us.
