West Virginia vs EPA out, 6-3 decision. Yuck edit: EPA can't regulate carbon Dioxide. Also as I read it, it seems that Chevron deference is dead too. I'm not a lawyer so I might be wrong on that part. edit2: More i read it, the more it looks like they gave Chevron a good punch in the guts, but they didn't pull a knife and rip the guts out. edit3: Wrong fuckin' thread!

Chevron wasn't specified. It's a narrow reading of a policy that was actually not in effect. It's bad but could have been worse E: they'll go after Chevron and the administrative state next term. This term they got rid of Roe, Miranda rights, and possibly the notion of substantive due process. That's a good haul for Republicans and the Dems that implicitly support them.

So, being that it's the 30th, I was looking for the original source of where the "indictment announcement by the 30th" came from, can anyone help? I found this newsweek piece: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-may-charged-trying-overthrow-election-end-month-1714783 quote:Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told the Associated Press that she expects to come to a decision on whether her office will charge the former president by June 30 for allegedly attempting to overthrow the results in Georgia. That seems to be referencing this AP piece: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-crime-donald-trump-elections-georgia-5f716d5b834829e708069233e34e6d38 quote:“I believe in 2022 a decision will be made in that case,” Willis said. “I certainly think that in the first half of the year that decisions will be made.” Is that all this is? A vague quote from January that she'd probably decide roughly in the first half of the year, and then people took an official announcement of June 30th as a planned hard deadline? And kept repeating it from then?

After looking into it a bit, I think it is not. Aside from your quote, I think people also saw that grand juries in Georgia last 2 months.... except this isn't a normal grand jury. It is a special grand jury which was authorized by a judge to work for up to 1 year starting May 2nd. The special grand jury also won't indict, they will release a report which the DA can then choose to act on, I guess. And she also apparently said on CNN at one point that there would be a decision before the end of 2022. So I guess June 30 is bullshit.

Well poo poo guys, sorry about that. I've been really vocal about the 30th because where I read it (and at this time I don't recall, either) I do remember thinking and didn't assign the usual grain of salt. Without revisiting the source I can't say what made me so confident. The GA GJ is still going to indict many people on many high crimes. June 30th isn't a requirement for that, and it is definitely coming. Any wagers on that should be reassessed, I figure. Remember, today is not just a Friday. It's the Friday before a big holiday week. So if any bombshell news that isn't scheduled already (like the SCOTUS decisions) will most likely drop late in the day to at the last minute.

Any joy I might have felt at the prospect of a mattering happening turned to ashes in the face of our shiny new theo-fascist SCOTUS. They are destroying in just one year stuff that took my whole loving life to happen and I don't see any mechanism through which it can be stopped. Plus being jobless I have no reason to keep a schedule and it's gotten bad in the last two weeks. I was up by 7am every day up until just recently, after my new band fell through. The job interview went really well, going to talk about the in-person interview next Tues. Good money, good benefits, good hours. Fingers crossed.

T.C. posted:The search warrant is a weird one, because it was potentially issued to the DoJ Inspector General based on direction in the warrant that the phone be sent to an office of the inspector general facility. That means that Eastman may nbot be the subject of the investigation used to justify the search warrant. The jurisdiction of the Inspector General is stuff that was done by people working at the DoJ, which Eastman has never been. So the speculation is that the target is Jeffrey Clark or someone else in the department. Yes, I’m aware that it originated from the IG office. I’m not sure that makes any real difference though. The only reason the DoJ IG would want evidence of crimes from Eastman is if they are following back from Clark to who originated the conspiracy. Since it’s a conspiracy that involves senior DoJ officials they can investigate it out to all parties. They’ll collect the evidence and then hand it off to a different branch to make the indictments. If they just cared about Clark and a few other shitheads at DoJ they wouldn’t need Eastman to make their case. I think the reason the IGs office is there now is because they started their investigation on the corruption in the DoJ on Jan 25 2021 while the main criminal group was focused on the rioters. They’ve already been investigating the leadership aspects so handing that off to a different group doesn’t make a lot of sense as it would mean a whole new group getting spin up on all the things they’ve e already done and learned.
