Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more (www.theverge.com)

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

My perspective having known about Chevron before Friday is that while this is a big development for admin law people seem to be overstating the impact it will likely have. Agencies like the EPA, FDA, etc can still make rules as before now courts just have to judge arguments on interpretation impartially, like they did before the SCOTUS made the doctrine in the 80s aiding Reagan. The SCOTUS hasn't even applied it since 2016.

Think you meant non elected.

But the point is that policy decisions aren't to be made by courts or agencies. They are to be made by an elected legislature, informed by the Congregational Research Services. To ensure the separation of powers.

Then the Executive agencies are to be tasked with enforce of the law. And if conflict should arise in the understanding of the law the judiciary is to interpret the law. And while judges are not experts in everything they are the experts in statutory interpretation.

It absolutely the least democratic, they aren't representatives they're judges. They side with the laws enacted by the people, not the people. And all federal judges are appointed.

That power has been with the judicial branch for 180+ years before it was given by the Court to the agency in the 80s to prop up a Reagan interpretation of the Clean Air Act.

I don't think characterizing them as all being far right hacks is very accurate. Gorsuch for example wrote Bostock v Clayton County (Stopping people from being from being fired for sexual identity or orientation), McGirt v Oklahoma (Upholding a long ignored treaty with the Creek nation), and Ramos v Louisiana (Killing a Jim Crow law designed to disadvantage minorities in criminal trials). They just abide a different judicial doctrine.

I'm not even sure why you're bringing it up.

I explained this in the first sentence of my comment.

On most of these cases, the left side has voted one way and the right the other.

Inorder as above:

NG, JR, RBG, SB, SS, & EK v SA, CT, & BK

NG, RBG, SB, SS, & EK v JR, SA, BK, & CT

NG, RBG, SB, SS, BK, & CT v SA, JR, & EK

That'd only be true if you consider Gorsuch, Roberts (for him fair), and Thomas as swing votes siding with the left.

My contention was that they are all radicals. Not that the three are conservative leaning.

The fact that it doesn't always line up left right doesn't change the fact that these did.

Unless you consider Gorsuch, Thomas, and Roberts left wing those three cases didn't. Which I consider you don't given this comment. 30% of the time opinions are 9-0. If you think most of the cases fit a partisan line go through the cases count how many follow partisan lines. They list them all here.

If you group the justices in two partisan groups Thomas and RBG & Roberts and Sotomayor certainly wouldn't be on the same sides.

one of the arguments you used.

It decidedly is not.

I don't think characterizing them as all being far right hacks is very accurate.

I didn't contend that if you follow a linear political view they'd be on the right side. I argued with the notion that all of the 3 justices were far right.

US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement (www.wired.com)

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators.

Tldr: Don't do this unless you have a business that requires a steam account for tax purposes. It doesn't need to be successful but it does need to be real.

Trusts are probably a better option for this sort of thing than a LLC.

A plurality of negative reviews kill those companies that make bad products. And that's a good thing. Wheat from the proverbial chaff as it were.

Imagine if someone made a video of your deceased father with "I'm Glad I'm Dead" in the title where his voice espouses political stances you or him quite probably disagree with.

It's a worse precedent to set the inversion. Imagine a world where once you die mega corps get to use your likeness to advertise rewriting any legacy you might have had into being "the McDonalds guy".

I was under the impression that it was more so a satire than a parody, which have less protection. (Key difference being one is a commentary other topics vs being a commentary on the original works) Then again I haven't watched the full 60 minute video.

Fair use is a four factor test amount used is a factor but a low amount being used doesn't strictly mean something is fair use. You could use a single frame of a movie and have it not qualify as fair use.

Reddit seems like a prime target to short IMO. Not even as a screw Reddit move. I just would never consider investing in them in their current state. Going public was a terrible choice for them.

There's IP lawyers that do contingency work on patent enforcement for this reason.

To add to point 4 in small municipalities it's not uncommon that the dispatcher might also serve other roles like a notary or permit processor who have to be accessible to the department or the public.

For some reason the article won't load for me. But I'm guessing it talking about the claim only ~9% of the time officers were able to confirm a firearm was present on the scene.

someone cloned Joe Biden's voice to help suppress voting in the New Hampshire primary.

Basically it was AI Biden telling supporters to not go to the polls. No one knows who did it.

Surely a company who makes a percentage of the total sale price would have no perverse incentive to create an algorithm that artificially sugar coats reviews. /s
