It’s important to see the fall of the Chevron doctrine for what it is: a power grab by corporate interests, allowing them to shop for judges who will strip agencies of their power to protect the public.

What happened to the belief that SCOTUS had no role in legislating?

@rbreich Six fuckers decided that checks and balances no longer apply to them. Even if Biden wins again, we are now under the authoritarian rule of a Committee of Six. We must elect large majorities in congress and expand the Supreme Court.

@rbreich We have to take over the House and the Senate and hire constitutional lawyers to write bills.

@rbreich Decades of the population being told that government is the problem sure didn't help.

@rbreich To be fair, Marbury was a power grab in the first place - I believe that judicial review, as it currently exists, should probably be abolished.

@rbreich when SCOTUS is not respecting the basic separation of powers, at what point are the other Branches allowed to ignore them?

Conservatives got the majority. Nothing is sacred to them.
