Supreme Court to consider overruling Chevron doctrine

The Supreme Court on Monday announced it will hear a case that could significantly scale back federal agencies’ authority, with major implications for the future of environmental and other regulati…

Oh, oh ho ho ho... Clarence Thomas has had his eyes on Chevron for a while. For those unaware, the current precedent is "if the law is unclear the federal agencies can do pretty much whatever they want." There have also been rulings confirming that federal administrative law is law. Naturally you can see the Constitutional issues where agencies can literally do an end-run around our rights so long as Congress is sufficiently vague when writing law. Its a quite convenient system for the government as a whole, not so much for everyone else. Especially since the regulation that's being argued over is "We're going put a federal observer on the boat and you will compensate them for their time spent watching you."

Also, a whitepill for you guys that was linked there as a related article:
https://thehill.com/regulation/cour...al-judge-blocks-illinois-assault-weapons-ban/
A federal judge has temporarily blocked an assault weapons ban in Illinois, ruling that multiple plaintiffs who sued alleging that the law violates their Second Amendment rights have a “reasonable likelihood” to succeed in their argument.

The judge specifically brings up the Bruen case, too. I know a few posters have brought it up, but I thought I'd like to reinforce that it really did completely 180 the legal environment around gun laws.

Stupid whore with her smug little smile when she said "not Trump" and she was freed from having to actually consider why everything is shit now and it wasn't 5 years ago if you turned off "the news".

But the lugenpress is telling me he is amazing for his age. And the POC clearly love him based on the reaction of that lady.

Also, are you telling me the families of the victims of "when trannies attacked" paid for was/were's funeral? Jesus fuck I HATE how Christianity only thinks of compasion and showing the other cheek and NEVER of self preservation...

It's a common evangelical Protestant misinterpretation of early Christian history. They think turning the other cheek is what impressed non-believers when Christians were persecuted in Ancient Rome. Instead it was the fervent desire for martyrdom and complete lack of fear in the face of horrific death. It wasn't Christians meekly forgiving the centurions tossing them into the pit of Colosseum. It was them rushing from their bondage to throw themselves to the lions screaming "Is that all you got? Do what you want to my body, you can't touch my soul! In fact it matters so little, I'm not even going to hate you for doing it! Go ahead, send me to my God, bitch. DO IT!"

I mean that shit is in the primary sources. The aggressive lack of fear and self-preservation. Christianity lacks self-preservation now, but for all the wrong reasons.

It's probably more often seen in places where Christianity is persecuted. Acts like those of the early Christians seem to indicate some great deal of religious zeal in choosing to become martyrs. Just look up the Soldier Saints and you'll see what I mean. It's practically on the opposite side of spectrum in terms of Christian pacifism where followers wish to suffer like Jesus did to show their faith.

The other end of the aforementioned spectrum seems to amount to a concept bordering on faithful apathy. It is something resembling the approach of "live and let live" and all the pros and cons that come with that. If Jesus was like this when he saw the merchants in the temple courts, he would have just said some mean words at most and that would be it. It is a constant cycle of cheek turning and making yourself in a door mat because you believe that is what your religion tells you to do. It's easy to be passive about everything when you "adhere" to Christianity with no backbone.

Whenever I hear "book ban," I just wince in disbelief. A book ban would be a nationwide ban, not a few schools or libraries refusing to stock a book.

And it's not even that in many cases. In most of these cases it's "maybe we shouldn't let the 8 year olds read the book that talks about analingus or how awesome having a dick up the ass felt when the main character was statutory raped by a homosexual or the comic book that has detailed illustrated instructions on tickling the balls while giving head." That's where the left's overton window is. "Oh god you're not letting the kids read faggot indoctrination porn? REEEEEE." They literally cannot grasp the concept of being told no, or that people might judge them as anything less than the bestest of good boys wot always do everything perfect.

And it's every single one of the left's cliques. Faggots, niggers, troons, females... It's the same mind rot. You are not allowed to judge them they identify as good and morally pure and thus you have to acknowledge this and emotionally validate them, constantly. It's a good thing they robbed the Walmart so much that the place shut down. It's a good thing they did a pseudo-stripper routine in front of a bunch of confused 8 year olds. Those two guys in gimp suits and dog masks that flashed their dicks at the 13 year olds were just having fun, you can't criticize them because "Kink is an inherent part of pride." Yeah Karen literally can't pass the standards to join the fire department so you just have to lower the standards and pray there are no fat people in America who are ever in a fire / EMS situation, because the idea that she can't do literally everything she might ever want to do, 24x7, is a sin against her ego.

Oh and the pedophiles are slowly creeping their way in as an official faction, and they'll expect you give them the same treatment.

Dr. Jordan Peterson pointed out once that the right knows when it goes too far. You can ask them and they'll tell you -- racial death camps is the usual answer. The left literally doesn't understand the idea of "the left going too far."

I am -very- doubtful they will strike this. Not because it shouldn't be, not because it by all means is unconstitutional, not because the judge's makeup should be set to rule against it. No, everything fits perfectly for it to be struck.

I doubt it because if they did it would kill the deep state practically over night.

The entire Uniparty -system- works off of Chevron and being able to argue that because they are not explicitly told they can't then they can. It's how they scratch each other's backs. It is how they all work towards one goal. Chevron is -the- decision that allows them to function. I'd legitimately expect them to assassinate a judge or kidnap their children before they ever ruled against it.

yet people use it. why is that? no one knows and wants to answer that.

the biggest problem was always people even looking at alternatives to the petrodollar, and the US has gone to great lengths trying to prevent that. yet here we are. BRICS is just a first step, doesn't mean it has to go anywhere, but the step is done. at the same time everyone involved is aware about the yuan, now imagine what happens if they agree to use a backed currency all of a sudden...?

Regarding Prescott Bush and links to the plot, yeah, I remember a bunch of Chris Hedges-style alt leftists reminding us of this on a regular basis because Bush Derangement Syndrome was hot and heavy 15-20 years ago. A lot of those leftists assumed he’d suspend the constitution after 2008 to just be President for life. Turns out Dubya couldn’t wait to get the fuck out of there. No mea culpas or analyses about how or why they were wrong of course, they were focused more on tonguing Obama’s asshole.

the left always projects their own goals unto everyone else because they simply can't imagine another perspective. in that regard they always act like an open book.

There have been consistent reports of discrimination and violence being committed against LGBT people in recent years, including murder, rape, assault, and the denial of basic rights and services. Transgender women are particularly vulnerable to violence and abuse, despite an improving legislative environment for transgender people.
