Title: Another big SC decision could be forthcoming, West Virginia vs. the EPA
Post by: WLJ on June 28, 2022, 09:18:22 AM
This could effect how most government agencies operate nowadays which is essentially by executive agency fiat. If WV wins that would be ruled unconstitutional. I'm not clear on whether or not this could effect decades of rules and regulations already enacted.

One more blockbuster Supreme Court decision could still be coming even after Friday's abortion ruling

I had figured it was a very long shot to get the SC to undercut federal agencies, but with the recent rulings, maybe not.  Hope they limit the legislative authority of federal agencies at least some. 

Back in the late 90's, Newt Gingrich's House tried to legislate a line item veto for the President.  I was thinking the SC told them they could not delegate legislative powers to the executive branch.  I guess I need to find out 1) if I remember that right and 2) if it was a ruling that has precedent.

This case decision should also be released very soon and would be of interest to current and future veterans.

I'm not sure this one will go the way that many of us hope.  The scope of changes necessary government-wide should the ruling go against the EPA would be massive.  Huge upsets to a many different regulatory rice bowls.
Plus, fed.gov does not like to relinquish power once it has gained it.  I'm thinking SCOTUS, being part of fed.gov, would tend to be protective of their administrative partners in crime wherever possible.

You know what would really be great (and impossible)?  For the court to rule there is no authority for the federal government to have anything to do with fuel or electricity generation at all.

Yeah.  As well all know the interstate commerce clause was written to give the federal government the power to do anything they want.

The trouble is that massive disruptions of "the system" like this fall right in line with the Communists' strategy of generalized disruption in any way possible, big or small, to get to the "solution" of full scale Communist takeover.

Go ahead, call me crazy.

I don't see how this would affect veterans. The law in question only affects reservists and National Guard. Nonetheless, it comes at a crucial time:

You've said that before in just about the same words.

I'm sorry if you dislike my pointing out how desperate the situation is or has become.  I wish only to encourage others to regroup and vigorously fight back against the insidious and deliberate attempts to whittle all rights down. 

If you can't see that, I feel sorry for you.

Terry, you and your ubiquitous brethren aren't encouraging anyone to fight back. You just said the solution had passed us by. I hear that kind of talk all over the place, and that's what I'm objecting to - the notion that nothing can be done.

You missed part of my point, which is that the erosion of all rights goes on and on.   There've been (recently) some slight recognition that too many functions of government have been usurped by the Feds.

We may be able to recover 2A rights, maybe even to before 1934.  It's possible.

One of the major stumbling blocks to that recovery is that return to pre-1934 status would be breaking the rice bowls af all the FFL licencees.  I'm amused to think that the current (rumored) attack on FFLs might reduce that resistance to re-establishing gun rights.  On the other hand, it might just establish government outlets for firearms, like liquor stores in some States.

I wish I could remember who noted that buying a gun should be like buying a hammer.  You pays yer money and you takes your hammer home.

Is that blather?  Our opinions differ.

Nope, I predict that within 6 weeks Brandon appoints, and has confirmed, 22 slavering left-wing dogs/justices who will "correct" all of the errors made by Trump's illegitimate Supreme Court.

Within a year, abortions won't just be available, they'll be mandatory.

Guns will be banned completely.

It will be illegal to burn, or split, anything to create energy of any type.
