What it means for the Supreme Court to throw out Chevron decision, undercutting federal regulatorsapnews.com Executive branch agencies will likely have more difficulty regulating the environment, public health, workplace safety and other issues under a far-reaching decision Friday by the Supreme Court.

shitty Reason columnists and Libertarian think tankers covertly on company payrolls will spend the next six straight months pretending critics of this decision are being hyperbolic, but I don't think the deadly impact on consumer protection, the environment, and public safety is even fathomable

I didn’t spend every day in public school for 13 years of my childhood reciting the “pledge of allegiance” for this horsehockey bullshit

Fuck the Supreme Court. This decision will have terrible consequences.
