SCOTUS Justices Gone Wild

[Jimmy Higgins]

Justice Thomas wants to burn it all down.

“The Occupational Safety and Health Act may be the broadest delegation of power to an administrative agency found in the United States Code,” Thomas wrote. “If this far-reaching grant of authority does not impermissibly confer legislative power on an agency, it is hard to imagine what would.”

Why impermissibly? The legislation was passed by both houses and signed into law by a president.

The notorious ACB is the only one who could halfway pull it off. Nobody wants to see Kagen or Sotomayor "go wild", and much less Thomas.

Why impermissibly? The legislation was passed by both houses and signed into law by a president.

He is referring to a section of the constitution in which the power to pass laws is placed exclusively in the hands of the legislature but he sees these regulations that federal agencies make and enforce as usurping that power. I can see where people who interpret those passages of the constitution that way are coming from but I think those passages were more about Ballance of powers and keeping laws out of the purview of the executive and judicial branches and not about powers cooperating to accomplish important goals like these agencies do.

While Clarence and his buddies were elected by...oh, right, they weren't.

Harlan Crow doesn’t want worker protections? Imagine that.

While the immunity decision will create a big legal can of worms, the so called Chevron decision could completely gum up the works.
Just think about every regulation being challenged in the courts.
Is this what the conservative judges want, more chaos?
If it is, Dog save us.

Lets not forget the post gratuity benefited SCOTUS bench that ruled bribes after the fact aren't bribes (or whether 666 dealt with gratuities) because hair splitting.

Nothing to Crow about.

Of course they do. Create chaos, then show up claiming to be the only party that can put an end to the chaos. It's their MO. A strategy as old as Yenaaldooshtli.
