The key point of Chevron was that laws like these are policy decisions, and those policy decisions should be made by the political branches responsive to the voters, Congress and the president, not by unaccountable judges with no constituents.
...
(in 1984) The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the Ronald Reagan admins industry-friendly EPA to stick with a lax interpretation of the Clean Air Act.
So the 1984 ruling, and now the overturn, are efforts by a corrupt conservative-stacked court to benefit the conservative political and ideological agenda. I always believed that Americans would never do anything about an illegitimate court dismantling democracy and the rule of law, but it's still just as comically dystopian to watch it happen in real time.
As comic book villains go, these guys really take the cake. Arresting aid workers is a real big brain move. But of course they'll be blaming Israel for the famine.
Did anyone actually think that this pier would be enough to cover all aid needs? Everyone on Lemmy seemed to get that this was a bandaid, at best, since well before the project was launched.
As an American, this is still crap. Assange is a hero as is Snowden and others that had the moral backbone to stand up to the post 9/11 monster insistent on proving bin Laden won against any remaining visage of freedom and democracy in the USA. We live in his dystopian dream of crumbling failure now, and insist on persecuting those that show how and what we lost.
