can someone smart explain this to me

*SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS CHEVRON RULING IN BLOW TO AGENCY POWER Roberts for the conservatives www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

www.supremecourt.gov

government agencies don't get to decide on regulations, rando dumbass judges do, which means a lot of really dumbshit decisions and way more impediments to regulating things, which is awesome for evil corporations and really bad for people who like clean air and food that doesn't poison you

something like that

Dissenting vote of one of the judge makes it clear:

I can imagine Boeing challenging the NTSB in courtrooms whenever the latter want to investigate a new mishap.

oh! awesome :D

yeah it's really cool

the environment is an obvious one, but what else is imperiled bc of this decision? healthcare? foreign policy?

that's the fun part, basically everything that a government agency touches, so, basically everything! good luck with meaningfully regulating AI, for example (but we still absolutely have to try)

great!! i love that :) i asked bc it feels like the supreme court is building up to something, first by allowing bribery and now by stripping the power of government agencies. but i guess it's nothing in particular, just a general hatred for good things

Deceptive advertising to kids is back in play without the COPPA rule to stop anyone.

It's even worse than you think. Expect circuit splits as plaintiffs file challenges to the same regulation in different districts.

It's also the area most affected by the loss of Chevron, because while they left old decisions relying on Chevron in place, AI regulations have never been upheld under Chevron to my knowledge.

Foreign policy seems like a stretch here though because foreign policy - other than establishment of actual treaties - is not subject to congressional or judicial oversight in the slightest, outside of explicit acts of Congress.

Also labor—the NLRB's ability to enforce workplace standards, union presence, salary thresholds, etc. is also weakened

OSHA, food safety, consumer protection, CDC, pharmaceutical approval, transportation safety, you name it.

yes and yes, as well as literally everything that has federal regulations associated with it food safety, financial regulations, osha, motor vehicles, all of it

Oh boy, even more food with e.coli and salmonella, except we won't know because a corporation isn't going to willingly do anything like a recall

Every law with an acronym or name you’ve ever heard of, ADA,HIPAAMedicaid, EMTALA, FDA, FAA

And we will all learn about thousands we didn’t realize shape our world-all the anti-discrimination, civil rights laws, product safety, transportation, storage of nuclear energy, highway inspection, consumer protection, bank fraud…

Student loan repayment plans, according to an article I just read in forbes! www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

Student Loan Forgiveness And IDR Plans In Jeopardy After New Supreme Court Decisionwww.forbes.com 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.

Oh fuck...

Anything the a federal government regulates that conservatives don't like them regulating. Public health and the environment are the biggest most obvious targets, but pretty much anything is on the table.

Adding to the list: consumer protection, fair lending, bank regulation generally. Statutes typically need regulations to operationalize/make them enforceable. Congress gives agencies with subject matter expertise the authority to write those regs. Today, the S. Ct. said, "We're the experts."

I can't wait for tech to become even shittier

I'm extremely excited to see what this guy gets up to with his new regulatory powers, I'm sure his expertise won't steer us wrong

this combined with the legalization of bribery is not going to be a good look for the environment, or anything else. Gosh, can't wait to have presidential immunity confirmed!

they’ll wait until after the election to make sure it only applies to our future permanent overlord trump

or simply put an asterisk ala bush v. gore

Maybe Gorsuch understands that this decision will make them a laughingstock???

It won’t. It’s his life’s work, and he was chosen by the conservative legal movement, for this role, for this purpose, for this moment.

It's like he's trying to complete his mother's work (as head of the EPA under Reagan) or something.

“You’ll have a talent for causing things PAIN…!” Dunno what reminded me of that

This is hilarious a week after Thomas pulled up engineering schematics to say bump stocks aren't machine guns.

That's what happens to your brain on nitrous oxide

Oh boy.

Let me tell you happy I am about this one.

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it won't take much for a panel of like-minded judges to throw out LNT as a basis for....literally everything

You are correct.

The eyes pointing in slightly different directions is the icing on the pie

This is really fucking funny

@lartist.bsky.social does excellent work.

oh my god 😹😻

is it just YOU who is in danger?

that is extremely not what phil means by this joke

(please let me pretend 😭)

This is going to synergize amazingly with a House containing people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, too.
