Since we will be waiting for the last bit of nonsense from the Supreme Court, we really need to circle back to a few cases from Last week.

1. The criminalization of Homelessness.

You really need to sit and marinate that. Someone is homeless, and now, they can be deemed a criminal, if the local statutes say such.

The ramifications of this are staggering.
You can have people be arrested for being homeless.
You then are now placing people, whose only ‘crime’ is being homeless – WITHIN THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
How is a homeless person supposed to post bond? To get out of jail?
Because, I assure you that they won’t be released on their own recognizance.

So, here you have a population for the FOR-PROFIT PRISON INDUSTRY. How can they make a profit if their prison’s aren’t full?
What happens with homeless FAMILIES? You going to arrest the family? Throw the parent in jail, and then put their child in the foster care system?
Now, what will happen to those children? Especially, if they have younger children? What is the likelihood that those younger children will be taken from them and given to the adoption industry?

An absolute human nightmare.

2. The two cases dealing with abortion. (Abortion Medication/Emergency Services)

Neither one is settled, because they didn’t actually want to make any decisions before the November 2024 Election.
The abortion medication case was thrown out because of STANDING – those who brought the case didn’t have proof that they were directly injured by the abortion medication. That’s a completely different issue than if the case had been heard on the merits, and the medication itself was deemed to be the right of women to use it.

The second case – dealing with Idaho saying that they don’t have do to abortions, even if it’s an emergency situation. They want the right to refuse to treat a woman in an emergency. They deliberately punted the case. Leaving women in limbo, because of the November 2024 election.

They really and truly thought that women were going to take the loss of body autonomy with no pushback. And want to dance around the issue.

3. The Gutting of the Chevron Doctrine

BREAKING: Supreme Court seizes control of regulatory agency decisions

Judges now can second-guess

– drug safety
– banking regs
– aviation safety
– environmental regs
– consumer product safety

Courts can now take over American life — in support of corporate special interests

That SCOTUS overruling ANOTHER precedent – this one that established the Chevron doctrine, which  has been cited in literally thousands of federal cases – was signaled by the court in 2022. Then I said the ruling in West Virginia v. EPA was the most important in decades…/1

…because it showed that the conservatives were gearing up to take regulatory administration out of the hands of experts and place it in the hands of the political hacks that now occupy our courts . It is an obscene power grab by this court, which has already ripped away…/2

…the authority of Congress, state legislatures, state courts etc. whenever it wants to drive policy. No precedent is safe. Stare decisis is over. This is an activist court unlike any in our country’s history.

“Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do.” — this guy is saying that EXPERTS don’t have any special competence to know how to apply the law, but judges do.

There are young people who are not going to vote and say that “both parties on the same” when literally one party just said that the EPA cannot regulate unless 6 Jesus-y people on the Supreme Court agree.

Kagan’s dissent: “It is now “the courts (rather than the agency)” that will wield power when Congress has left an area of interpretive discretion. A rule of judicial humility gives way to a rule of judicial hubris… In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue—no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden—involving the meaning of regulatory law. As if it did not have enough on its plate, the majority turns itself into the country’s administrative czar.”

More Kagan: “A longstanding precedent at the crux of administrative governance thus falls victim to a bald assertion of judicial authority. The majority disdains restraint, and grasps for power.”

Nobody is prepared for this jolt to the legal system. The Supreme Court has shifted an unfathomable amount of power from Congress and the executive brach toward unelected, unaccountable federal judges. This will fundamentally alter how government works. https://t.co/0R84QxKFD9 https://t.co/LcMAQAfot6

Agencies have professionals with deep substantive expertise. Judges have nothing but their ideological biases. This is a renegade court usurping legislative and executive power. It is an illegitimate court.

And, for those who couldn’t be scared by The Court in 2016, when we told you it was an important reason above all else to vote for Hillary:

Bryan H., Esq. (@X_BryanH) posted at 9:55 AM on Fri, Jun 28, 2024:
The Supreme Court has:

-Overturned Roe v. Wade (50+ years of precedent)

-Overturned Chevron (40 years of precedent)

-Overturned affirmative action (60+ years of precedent)

-Allowed cities to criminalize homelessness

And this is all because 1 man became president in 2016.
