⚖️ 🇺🇸 Supreme Court rules that the Justice Department overstepped by charging hundreds of people with obstruction in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot

🔶️ The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Justice Department overstepped by charging hundreds of people who rioted at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, with obstruction in a decision that could force prosecutors to reopen at least some of those cases.

⚖️ 🇺🇸 Supreme Court strikes down Chevron, curtailing power of federal agencies

🔶️ The Supreme Court on Friday upended a 40-year-old decision that made it easier for the federal government to regulate the environment, public health, workplace safety and consumer protections, delivering a far-reaching and potentially lucrative victory to business interests.

🔶️ Forty years ago, the Supreme Court ruled 6-0, with three justices recused, that judges should play a limited, deferential role when evaluating the actions of agency experts in a case brought by environmental groups to challenge a Reagan administration effort to ease regulation of power plants and factories.

🔶️ But the current high court, with a 6-3 conservative majority, has been increasingly skeptical of the powers of federal agencies. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas all had questioned the Chevron decision.

🔶️ “The Supreme Court is pushing the nation into uncharted waters as it seizes it seizes power from our elected branches of government to advance its deregulatory agenda,” Sambhav Sankar, a lawyer with the environmental group Earthjustice, said after the ruling. “The conservative justices are aggressively reshaping the foundations of our government so that the President and Congress have less power to protect the public, and corporations have more power to challenge regulations in search of profits. This ruling threatens the legitimacy of hundreds of regulations that keep us safe, protect our homes and environment, and create a level playing field for businesses to compete on.”

⚖️ 🇺🇸 Slate Magazine's Mark Joseph Stern on SOTUS striking down Chevron Doctrine:

🔶️ "Nobody is prepared for this jolt to the legal system. The Supreme Court has shifted an unfathomable amount of power from Congress and the executive brach toward unelected, unaccountable federal judges. This will fundamentally alter how government works."

⚖️ 🇺🇸 White Papers on Chevron Doctrine, January 2024.

🔶️ American courts currently adhere to what is known as the “Chevron doctrine”. This doctrine, in short, gives Federal agencies the power to define ambiguous provisions of legislation, and to make their own rules and policies within that ambiguous space. The doctrine further requires that the Courts defer to the agency’s explanation of said policies and this generally results in American citizens losing challenges to Federal agencies in court.

🔶️ This incredible power of agencies to regulate, and the imposition of deferral to ‘experts,’ has cost average Americans time and again.

🔶️ The Supreme Court gave a positive indication of which way it is likely to rule when it sided against the EPA in August of 2023 in the case Sackett v. EPA. This was a 15 year long case in which the EPA was attempting to keep an American couple from building a home on land they own. The EPA had ordered the Sackett couple to restore a wetland which the EPA claimed was protected under ambiguous provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972. The Supreme Court eventually decided that wetlands do not fall under the CWA, greatly limiting EPA power and handing wetland regulation back to states and local governments.

🔶️ If the Chevron doctrine is overturned, or even weakened, it will force Congress to legislate more frequently, more clearly, and give American citizens more influence over their representatives.

🔶️ Americans deserve influence over their elected representatives and to be free from regulatory fiat imposed by faceless “experts” in Federal agencies.

📝 🇺🇸 Anon: "I view SOTUS' decision on Chevron as a type of Perestroika"

🔶️ "The center right is trying to reform the system. And in trying they will kill it. We really are in a new Soviet death spiral. I don't necessarily know if Congress will actually act, but States will take more action."

🔶️ "And Congressman are going to feel pressured to deliver on individual constituent issues. You can no longer simply blame the EPA. It's going to polarize vertically (state v fed) and horizontally (within the Fed itself). I expect the system implodes, we get some kind of managerial leader while ideological camps fight for control of public support. In that space we come out ahead."

🔶️ "When right wing personalities had to start picking up our talking points (Kirk, Tucker, Owens, Jones) is when I knew we were the most relevant political force. No right wing personality can maintain a youthful audience without talking about demographics, immigration and Nationalist adjacent subjects."

🇺🇸 US House Speaker Mike Johnson called on members of the administration to fire Biden, the New York Post reports.

According to Johnson, for this it is necessary to apply the 25th Amendment to the Constitution - about cases when the head of state is incapacitated.

"Our rivals see weakness in the White House, as do we all. I say this without pleasure. I think the situation is very dangerous. I would ask members of the Cabinet to look into their hearts," Johnson said.

He noted that he understands the panic in the ranks of the Democrats, but we are talking about the entire country, whose president clearly cannot do the job, and now the ministers and the vice president must do their duty.

According to this amendment, in order to remove a president, a decision of the majority of members of his cabinet and the vice president is required; this has never happened in US history.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 The U.S. will remove the aid pier in Gaza due to weather and may not put it back after groups stopped deliveries, officials say.

🔶️ The pier built by the U.S. military to bring aid to Gaza has been removed due to weather to protect it, and the U.S. is considering not re-installing it unless the aid begins flowing out into the population again, U.S. officials said Friday.

🔶️ While the military has helped deliver desperately needed food through the pier, the vast majority of it is still sitting in the adjacent storage yard and that area is almost full.

🔶️ The pause came after the Israeli military used an area near the pier to fly out hostages after their rescue in a raid that killed more than 270 Palestinians, prompting a U.N. security review over concerns that aid workers’ safety and neutrality may have compromised.
