OSHA certainly has no such power.

court rulings are becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Unless they're in favor of the Democrats.

I’ve always thought the EPA was the worst part of Nixon’s presidency.


The other “worst” part was “opening China”, imho.

“... which means that there are 3 Supreme Court justices who think that it’s ok for unelected bureaucrats to make law. They should have failed civics class: legislative power rests with the legislature, not with unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.”

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY
1. Lawmakers write a bill (a law) directing a new policy or policy change for the federal government, which can pass by majority vote (discounting the Senate filibuster).
2. President either signs the bill or vetoes the bill. If signed, then the Executive Branch must implement the intent of the bill.
3. If vetoed, then 2/3’s of House and 2/3’s of Senate must vote again to override, or the bill is dead.
4. Bottom Line: If the President wants a new law, he needs 50% of Congress to agree.

VIRTUAL DICTATORSHIP
1. Executive Branch determines that a law they want will not pass Congress.
2. Executive Branch implements the law they wanted anyway, using some pre-existing legislation as a pretext for justification.
3. Opponents of the new law go to court to try to block the law, due to the lack of due process.
4. Case is rejected by the courts, and opponents are told to pass a bill in Congress to negate the new law.
5. Bill (to negate law) passes Congress, but President vetoes it.
6. Congress must now come up with 2/3’s majorities in both chambers to override the law - which is virtually impossible due to the makeup of Congress.
7. We have a new law, dictated by the Executive Branch, and without Congress ever authorizing it.

If Skunk Cabbage had won in 2016, we would, easily, have been a Virtual Dictatorship by now, as the liberals on the court ALWAYS sided with the Virtual Dictatorship approach when it came to Democrat policies.

No wonder Breyer stated that his retirement takes effect at noon today. He wants to get the hell out of town!

In my opinion, this is right up there with overturning Roe vs Wade.

This past week showed us just how effective Trump's first term actually was, despite all the Deep State being against him.

Now let's get him the second term that he rightfully won in 2020.

So the standards for gas mileage and exhaust emissions evaporate.

This is a no-brainer. We are meant to be a constitutional republic, not a ruled by a massive federal bureaucracy with unlimited power and no accountability.

You nailed it in a nutshell, Mr. K. Exactly.

Only a George W. Bush could give us someone as smarmy as Roberts. The revenge of the Bush Crime Family.

Most likely Biden, and the federal agencies, will ignore the ruling and continue as if nothing has been decided. The attitude will be same as another democrat president, Andrew Jackson who might say today, “John Roberts has made his decision now let him enforce it.” New lawsuits will be filed to try and force compliance, but I expect Biden to be able to put this decision off for the remainder of his term. If this decision is respected, then it is a great victory.

Which is why conservative Representative ratings are misleading. Straw votes are taken, and “if the desired outcome is safe” they vote to bring the score up. When it comes down to it, there are few Constitutionalists in positions of power.

Yes, I think policies can continue while the Appeals process is underway. I might be wrong.

Good idea. Even with parameters they can’t actually do it.
