Justices Limit Power of Federal Agencies, Imperiling an Array of Regulations
www.nytimes.com
A foundational 1984 decision had required courts to defer to agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes, underpinning regulations on health care, safety and the environment.

This is what the decision by the Republican justices to allow “gratuities” for public officials creates an incentive for.

    Thinking through this: it will swamp Congress with every minor little detail, bringing progress to a standstill. There’s just too much stuff, that’s partly why agencies are set up.

    AND Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything (any of these details). Dems have had that for only 4 of the last 24 years. The GOP gets to block any of this when they have a single one of those (20 of the last 24 years). If you thought there was a lack of progress before, it’s going to be tenfold going forward. VOTE (for Dems, not 3rd party).

      What will happen is that no regulations will get passed, or they’ll continue ask their special interest to write laws for themselves because Congress is too busy to do law making. Ugh.

        What will happen is not enough people voting for a dem party that doesn’t magically grant wishes hence they get no votes…

        All while Fox News tells you what reality is…

        When it comes to keeping up with politics… Policy is one thing, motivation is another, and rat fucking is something altogether different.
