If the Democrats somehow managed to retake Congress at some point they can re-implement the Chevron Doctrine essentially through legislation. The ruling that has me really worried is the presidential immunity ruling. That one will require Court packing to undo

It's so terrifying that we had 2 historically democracy destroying rulings happen at basically the same time.

Lawyers deciding that lawyers are the only people who should make decisions? Apparently getting a law degree makes you more qualified about every topic than anybody who has spent any amount of time studying that specific topic

Maybe the law should not be ultimately powerful

Luxander, I really appreciate how level-headed you are in regards to your approach towards all of this. We know it’s not looking good, but I appreciate how you’re able to concisely discuss everything that’s going on with this.

Also its gonna be a lot of lawsuits filed, companies gave enough money to jsut flood the justice system easily.

I'm wondering if the Federalist Society's Leonard Leo had any input into these decisions. He seems to have very undue and suspicious influence on SCOTUS.

That ruling Chevron doctrine ruling essentially destroys any effectiveness of what project 2025 could do, since the whole project relied on Chevron to carry out most of its ability.

"Friends of the Court" or, in Latin, "Amici Curiae" is a technical term in Law that refers to people or entities who have been allowed by the court to plead or make submissions, but who are not involved in the legal action at hand

This is truly terrifying. The Democrats need to get their sh!t together and replace Biden asap so that the new candidate has time to campaign. A trump presidency is the end of the country as we know it.

I know it is unrelated, but could you make a hoodie with a purple splash in the background instead of green?

It is very confusing because it is an open question whether or how gender affirming care for minors could survive attempts by conservatives to make it illegal nationwide, if they had the votes in Congress to do so. But I think it would not be forced on a more liberal administration by the courts alone through some kind of conservative lawsuit. I think the abortion pill case is an unreliable guide. Since that decision hinges on standing. One could envision a well conceived legal challenge that might fare better. Still how would someone bring such a case to force restrictions on gender affirming care that the federal executive allowed? I think the bigger risk is a conservative president. I think as long as you have an HHS and FDA that is led by Democrats, they are not going to try to make it illegal nationwide. It is very confusing because the Biden Administration required private insurers participating in Obamacare to make gender affirming care available to both cis and trans people, without regard to “assigned gender at birth, on the basis of the 14th Amendment, but seemed to contradict that policy by signing into law a military budget that denies the military health insurance organization from providing or paying for HRT fir anyone which if treating trans and cis people differently w/r/r HRT is unlawful sex discrimination when Obamacare exchange insurers do it (even for non-exchange patients), then how it it not unlawful sex discrimination when it’s the military? But your health insurance will likely not pay for HRT under a conservative administration, and the FDA and HHS could ban gender affirming care for anyone, potentially under a conservative administration. I doubt the current court would see the gender affirming care issue the way they saw the gay marriage and the trans employment discrimination cases if such policies or laws are brought before them by pro trans rights challengers. It would also take considerable time to get there, and the court might not even take that case. But I mean duty, logic, and consistency could prevail. Stop laughing.
