The Supreme Court just took a case on the EPA’s authority. Its decision could undo most major federal laws.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate power plant emissions, in a case that legal scholars say could undermine Congress’s constitutional authority to delegate power to federal agencies. Some argue that such regulation — not just by the EPA, but in President Biden’s vaccine mandate as well — is unconstitutional because of a somewhat arcane legal doctrine called the “nondelegation doctrine.” This theory holds that Congress cannot delegate broad policymaking authority to government agencies.
Why does this argument matter? Our research finds that if the Supreme Court were to invalidate either the EPA’s authority or the vaccine mandate under this doctrine, it might unravel nearly every major law Congress has passed since World War II. Nearly every one of these laws involves delegating authority to U.S. agencies.

SCOTUS is too cowardly to overturn and hamstring the runaway Government. Thomas and Alito might, but the rest will continue to support big government.

I’m sure the Supreme Court will get the message to come to the “correct” decision.

"if the Supreme Court were to invalidate either the EPA’s authority or the vaccine mandate under this doctrine, it might unravel nearly every major law Congress has passed since World War II. Nearly every one of these laws involves delegating authority to U.S. agencies." So what's the downside?

The Supreme Chickens will not do it for exactly this reason.

How many hostages among the SC immediate families? And how many dirty secrets? How many false dirty secrets?
Add it all up, it sure outnumbers two (Alito and Thomas).

SCOTUS is too cowardly to overturn and hamstring the runaway Government. You have go that right... Kavanaugh and Barrett are huge disappointments. The left has some type of hold on them.

Anyone who expects that to happen is too dumb to breathe.

SCOTUS will do nothing of any value. Notice you don’t hear any talk about “packing” the court? There is no need to with these clowns on the bench.

I hope so since most major federal laws along with most of the feds themselves, are unconstitutional.
Continuing to pray that the Almighty Hand of the Divine Providence of our Lord God will tear down the unconstitutional (tyrannical) portion of the feds and build back up our Free Constitutional Republic.
I don’t care how he does it whether via the Court or another rebellion of Patriots, but one way or the other tearing down the unconstitutional part of the feds and rebuilding our Free Constitutional Republic MUST HAPPEN for our restoration and MAGA.

They took this case.
The case is mostly about the Court giving the EPA blanket power over everything in 2007.
The EPA ruled CO2 was a "pollutant" because of "climate change". Essentially that meant they had the power to regulate all aspects of existence.
This could reverse that.

Barrett’s way too into stare decisis to overturn this.
To: where's_the_Outrage?
Howzabout scotus? They exercise far more power than the Constitution allows. We’re going to have to deal with the black-robed class as well.

“Arcane.” To the extent that we teach government at all, we teach children the lie that there are three branches of government. There are actually four, and the administrative exercises powers assigned to the other three will little check or balance
