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.
You still need to organize. One dude throwing Molotovs doesn’t get much done besides getting arrested. A crowd of people? We know they’re terrified of those.
Either way, no scary big protests, no going back to a sane reality. Shit, it might take pulling them from their seats if we dont want Christofascism setting in.
Doing what we are now? This country is lost. Those debates were embarrassing. Its up to the people now.
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.
The republicans finally got what they wanted. They’ve basically killed the government’s ability to regulate.
Get ready to be fucked by corporations and billionaires in lots of new ways.
Nope, the social contract is broken. Organize immediately, protest everywhere. They want savages we can provide.
I’d argue protest and organization is part of the social contract as well. So if we’re past the social contract them…
