re: Supreme Court Decision Thread - Wednesday, June 29

I hope today is another bad day for the left and a good day for the good guys!

It won't be automatic, like a switch ending them, but this would be case law that would allow them to be challenged.

Depending on how the case is written and how far it goes (or doesn't go), it could also make it A LOT easier to get an injunction and put the burden on the alphabet soup agency to prove that it has the authority to do what it is attempting to do.

Come on SCOTUS, geld the administrative state!

ETA: thx anc

There is nothing this term that would suggest they would revisit Womack. We will see what the Court takes up in the October 2022 term. Womack is another terrible decision- I think from 1975.

Anyway, The Warren and Burger courts were awful and a lot of their decisions (See: Roe v. Wade) were made up out of thin air.

Will this result in the loss of what some might call good regulations in the area of consumer protection or investment matters?

I was thinking the same thing.
What I believe will happen should the ruling go in favor of WV is that a legislative committee of house reps will have to review every code that a regulatory agency has issued from it inception, strike any regulation that effects the economic freedom of any entity or state, but balance the culling with the regulations that provide a benefit to every individual in the country, keeping in mind any ramifications to interstate commerce.
Then Congress votes to establish the "base-line" of beneficial regulations and votes on all future regulatory changes.
That will be tricky and will not happen overnight, but it is the way...if you can keep the lobbyists out of the process.

This process should reduce the need for the progressive, un-fire-able "rule writers and enforcers" stacked for decades into these abc agencies.

Kinda of crazy to think but if the SC neuters these agencies that would be a massive step forward in the quest to drain the swamp. That would be another massive win for Trump. At that point I’d think he’d have a legit argument for tGoat President

I think one thing you can look at right away on the West Virginia case is who writes the opinion.

If it's Roberts, it's probably going to go against the EPA but will be very narrow in scope.

If it's Alito or Thomas, you can pretty much kiss your job goodbye if you work for one of these politicized alphabet soup agencies.

If it's Kavanaugh or ACB, it's probably something in between.

Of course, we know exactly what it is if one of the DNC goosestepping libs write the opinion.

In sitting here trying to come up with what would be a possible compromise decision on WV vs EPA and am struggling how the court could put forth a narrow decision on this that doesn't majorly hamper the administrative state.

Unless they come up with a way to tier the level of decision that the legislative branch can abdicate their need to rule on, I am at a loos how it would work.

SCOTUSBlog post... which makes sense... give the retiring guy the final opinion of the session
