In its farthest reach, regulation has become the go-to way for presidents to make policy when they can’t get Congress to pass a law, as on climate change. Barack Obama and Donald Trump did it for varied policies; Joe Biden does it. The court’s conservative majority said not so fast to Biden.by half by the end of the decade even as the damage from global warming mounts. Beyond that, it may hinder regulation across a range of public policy, in education, transportation, LGBTQ rights and more.
Thomas Jefferson sought freedom from bureaucracy as well as the achievement of American liberty when he wrote of the British king, “He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”What followed were several centuries of new offices and swarm upon swarm of bureaucrats come hither.
For all of that, citizen encounters with the federal government often play out in the background, unacknowledged. The days are long gone when anyone could stroll at will through the front doors of Washington’s grand government buildings and do business. But it’s more visible when the government takes instead of gives. Motorists steer 18.4 cents to Washington for each gallon of gas they buy and 24.4 cents for each gallon of diesel. Most states grab an even bigger take per gallon.
What is with the war on lightbulbs? The new LEDs come in a variety of lighting tones, have come WAY down in cost, don't burn things and last a very, VERY long time. It seems like a no-brainer.
Yay!
How about we take away that cigarette tax and the government stops trying to force me to stop smoking by price gouging me? Governments don’t deserve to control anything, they set rules against malicious behavior and enforce them, that’s all they should do, not be control freaks.
Thanks God (and our great SupremeCourt!) It's about time.
People in the comments don't seem to understand how regulations protect people 😂... but I'm not surprised given their level of knowledge on anything. Research and facts are only a thing for the leftist elite I guess
We all looked at this picture and thought “that otter is freaked out by a giant black penis” right?
government bureaucrats, especially federal, are not supposed to be “[shaping] many things in [our] days.” Our federal government has become a big, bloated, disgusting tick, and it’s still gorging on our blood.
I kept reading assuming there would be a point at the end.
It’s an upside down dysfunctional society when people start lobbying for elected officials to make the ultimate decisions on the safety and welfare of their voters in favor of pushing aside informed experts who are our fellow people functioning in a society.
So the govt can't issue sweeping regulations and laws without Congress approval Is this not a good thing? Too many alphabet agencies have too much power. I am good with this.
saying laws have to be passed in order to enact governance ultimately gives the people more power to decide what should and shouldn’t be regulated, I fail to see how that’s a bad thing
The Koch Revolution.
The framing on this is so obfuscatory as to be malicious. The malpractice that AP is letting masquerade as journalism is destroying this institution.
Wow what a terrible headline, leader, and article. Making an extremely important case that threatens to destroy all forms of beneficial government services be about “nanny state” regulations instead of global climate apocalypse, civil rights and voting, housing, healthcare…
what the fuck AP
The majority needs to rise up fast and pull this court to the ground before it’s too late
Over regulation is bad, but some regulation is good. Who likes bug parts in their toast?
this dude seems a little suspect tbh
Cool word salad...fucksticks
assuming this is the guy?
We'll ALL be alright. 😊
A 2022’ Home Dishwashing cycle, in a New Dishwasher, takes 3.5 friggin’ HOURS to cycle through! WHY? Would subtracting dumb regulations, quicken and streamline its functionality? Does the Federal Government KNOW better, how to wash dishes, than say,…Whirlpool?
It isn't government being fickle. A fossil fuel magnate called Charles Koch bought a Supreme Court. The fossil fuel industry funds 52 corrupt Senators, 147 seditionist election deniers, the biggest malign influence campaigns in history, & a pro-Putin propaganda media ecosystem.
Coming soon: •More incects in toast! •Rat feces in peanut butter! (Tenesee only) •Light bulbs that set your house on fire! (Whoops!) •Immediate death for every 87 year old! (Michigan, Indiana and Ohio only) •Roads that are one big pothole! (PA and NY) Can't wait.
Let’s keep regulation out of our lives eh?
Weird way to say unelected bureaucrats can no longer dictate our lives and elected politicians will have to.
