Any chance someone has it saved somewhere? no but like 95% of the federal government is agencies where congress says "ok you're in charge of this now" and the conservatives don't like that so they want to make all regulatory agencies essentially illegal. Sorry, if you want to reduce mercury emission levels in West Virginia, you need to pass a specific law through congress.

yeah the idea is that if the SC says gently caress you the EPA doesn’t have the authority to regulate Congress has to do it itself, they can be used as a wedge to shut down basically any regulatory body they want + bring the federal government to a screeching loving halt

Part of me wants to believe that gutting the regulatory state might be chaotic enough that capital might step in and approve some sort of change but in my heart I know the actual answer: corporations are going to start raising private armies

I posted a few pages back that in order of badness the ruling: 1. WILL say EPA cannot regulate greenhouse gases 2. LIKELY eliminate Chevron which is judicial deference to agency regulations (a judge can just reinterpret any regulation they don’t like 3. MAY say the underlying law creating the EPA is an unconstitutional delegation of congressional authority (any federal agency they don’t like is on the chopping block—I predict education and title IX would follow shortly) 4. MIGHT (but I still think unlikely) say the entire APA was an unconstitutional delegation of authority (this is maximum chaos and would be a holy poo poo moment)

christmas boots posted:is there an outcome which immediately dissolves the FAA because that would be wild Option 3 in my post above, although I’d imagine they’d probably allow a wind down period I guess they could also just declare the CAA unconstitutional which wouldn’t immediately dissolve the EPA but would put everyone on notice to expect a similar ruling on the CWA and endangered species act and etc and etc basically signaling they want to kill EPA but giving everyone time to prepare Edit: oops.

What is control of the Senate getting the Democrats right now? It's not like they can pass anything substantive with him in the party anyway. The Republicans are accomplishing decades long political goals because they control the court while the Democrats nominally control congress and the presidency.

actionjackson posted:I mean, what can they do about him? He can't be replaced until he's up for reelection Do you think it’s a surprise to anyone in the Democratic Party that Manchin is pro life? He’s avowed that he’s pro life and has continued to support the ban on federal funds being used to perform abortions. He’s hidden behind Roe to avoid having to make any very politically inconvenient votes but everybody knew exactly what he stood for and the democrats still gave him support for reelection because he was willing to put a D next to his name despite not actually agreeing with 90% of the so called party platform. He’s useful because he provides cover for not actually having to pass any legislation that most of them don’t want to pass anyway. He lets them pay lip service without having to actually do anything and still keep raking in money because “if we only had more democrats in the senate we could do something!”. Nevermind that if the Senate had 10 more Democrats they’d all be like Joe Manchin or worse because those are the type of people that Democrats run in all of the places that are left.

It looks terrible. judicial nominees. without him, biden appoints no one. with him, he has appointed more bench and appellate judges (though not scotus) than trump did at the same point in their terms. manchin will also handily win a primary and reelection campaign. he is the most popular senator in their respective home state.
