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.

@@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!!!

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.

Chevron never prevented judicial review of regulatory agencies.

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.

For Supreme Court Justices: -12-year term limits -Voted on by the people (not the president and congress) every 4 years. - Ethics Oversight administered by the circuit court justices in conjuction with the national bar association. (Or, someone/organization that has no attachment to the outcome of cases . . . Not sure who this might be, but congress had utterly failed - can't be them.) - Addition of 4 Justices to the Supreme Court to total 13 to bring parity with the number of circuit courts.

That's not the only one on a long list of vexatious rulings. The latest ruling on homelessness. Here's my opinion. 1. **Ignoring Established Precedents**: - Overturning a lower court's decision that aligns with established interpretations of the Eighth Amendment (prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment) can be seen as ignoring legal precedents set by previous cases. 2. **Disregard for Human Rights**: - By upholding measures that may be seen as cruel and unusual punishment for homelessness, the decision could be interpreted as disregarding fundamental human rights, which is generally seen as an unreasonable stance in modern jurisprudence. 3. **Appeal to Legal Formalism**: - Relying heavily on technical legal arguments to justify overturning the lower court's decision, without considering the broader social and humanitarian implications, can be seen as vexatious. This approach prioritizes form over substance. 4. **Selective Interpretation**: - The decision may involve selectively interpreting laws or the Constitution to fit a specific ideological agenda, rather than applying a consistent legal standard. This selective interpretation can undermine the principle of impartial justice. 5. **Dismissal of Contextual Realities**: - Failing to consider the socio-economic context of homelessness and the real-world impact of the decision on vulnerable populations can be seen as a sign of vexatious reasoning. A decision that ignores the lived realities of affected individuals lacks compassion and practical wisdom. 6. **Conflict with Moral and Ethical Standards**: - Upholding what is widely regarded as cruel and unusual punishment contradicts contemporary moral and ethical standards, suggesting the decision is more about exerting ideological control than about fair legal judgment. 7. **Inconsistent Application of Judicial Review**: - If the Supreme Court majority frequently overturns lower court decisions that protect vulnerable populations, but not other types of cases, it indicates a potentially vexatious pattern of behavior targeting specific outcomes. 8. **Political Motivations**: - The decision may be perceived as being driven by political motivations rather than impartial legal reasoning. If the justices' political affiliations correlate strongly with their decisions, it raises questions about the objectivity of the ruling. By identifying these points, we can critically assess the logical foundations (or lack thereof) behind the Supreme Court's right-wing majority decision, illustrating why it might be perceived as vexatious.

It’s home to over 200 petrochemical plants and refineries, accounting for a quarter of the petrochemical production in the United States. Unfortunately, this region has earned its ominous nickname due to serious environmental concerns. Residents in Cancer Alley face disproportionately high rates of cancer, miscarriages, and respiratory ailments. The air pollution caused by these industrial facilities exceeds federal limits of acceptable risk, making it a challenging place to live…. 🕊️

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.

Terminal birth defects, fetus attached inside the falopian tube instead of the uterus, miscarriages that won't purge, stillbirths, preeclampsia, sepsis, etc can cause death / loss of reproductive organs. That's why doctors need to be able to do their jobs. The BIBLE states life begins when a baby takes its first breath.
