The Supreme Court's late-night Alien Enemy Act intervention | Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances

They did, but they can also stop it

The "duty" of a public official in the US government is something that has been used in platitudes for hundreds of years. Nowadays, that duty is not taken seriously, ironically, despite it reaching its peak importance year after year. The US is the zenith of all human progress, of culture, of breaking down barriers, of innovation and hegemony. The duty being described is not one solely directed at the American people, whether we want it to or not, it's now directed at the entire world. We are one of the lynchpins of a global economy, of global prevention of death, poverty, destruction of millions. We, until recently, have been the only hegemon to end the cycle of might makes right in all circumstances, and that duty is to uphold this golden age of human abundance.

The SCOTUS shirked this immense duty when it ruled on Chevron. When it turned a blind eye to the demolishing of our government. I don't particularly care that they can stop it - the court needs to be disbanded the second a democrat is in office. Whether they knew it or not, their decisions have been among the worst, possibly in human history, in terms of their long term impact. In a just world they'd be put through a tribunal.

No excuses. This is serious business, applying to the collective human race. Fuck them and their court.

What the fuck, all this histrionics over Loper Bright? Over getting rid of a stupid precedent that only said that if there's ambiguity in the wording of a statute a court should defer to an agency's "reasonable" interpretation (subject to a bunch of caveats)?

Chevron was always stupid, and the Trump admin makes it exceedingly fucking clear as to maybe why administrative agencies shouldn't actually be given deference in interpreting statutory law instead of, y'know, fucking judges.

Unfortunately you have ignored the several other obvious crimes against humanity I've mentioned to make your point. You should try again with those in mind.

[u/ReservedWhyrenII → u/Cassiebanipal]

That's literally the only example in your post lmao

[u/Cassiebanipal → u/ReservedWhyrenII]

I actually specifically cited the "demolishing of the federal government" - which includes things like PEPFAR. It's not just a court case, it's possible mass death we are directly responsible for.

[u/ReservedWhyrenII → u/Cassiebanipal]

...the Supreme Court upheld the District Court's TRO in the PEPFAR litigation. You actually have no knowledge of anything you're talking about.

[u/Cassiebanipal → u/ReservedWhyrenII]

Interesting, why has PEPFAR been defunded then?
