US Supreme Court Overturns "Chevron" Stripping Power from Bureaucrats

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/28/2024 08:40 AM

Washington, DC...From the syllabus..."The Court granted certiorari in these cases limited to the question whether Chevron U. S. A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U. S. 837, should be overruled or clarified. Under the Chevron doctrine, courts have sometimes been required to defer to “permissible” agency interpretations of the statutes those agencies administer—even when a reviewing court reads the statute differently.

US Supreme Court Limits "Enron Rule" or "Obstruct an Official Proceeding" Prosecutions

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/28/2024 09:00 AM

Washington, DC...US Supreme Court Limits "Enron Rule" or "Obstruct an Official Proceeding" Prosecutions. This ruling could lessen, overturn or eliminate many J-6 felony cases. From the syllabus..."The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes criminal liability on anyone who corruptly “alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding.”18 U. S. C. §1512(c)(1). The next subsection extends that prohibition to anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” §1512(c)(2). Petitioner Joseph Fischer was charged with violating §1512(c)(2) for his conduct on January 6, 2021.

The White House on the Supreme Court Ruling in Loper Bright

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/28/2024 12:50 PM

Washington, DC...The Supreme Court’s ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is yet another deeply troubling decision that takes our country backwards. Republican-backed special interests have repeatedly turned to the Supreme Court to block common-sense rules that keep us safe, protect our health and environment, safeguard our financial system, and support American consumers and workers. And once again, the Supreme Court has decided in the favor of special interests, just as it did when they sought to gut long-standing protections for clean water, thwart efforts to respond to a global pandemic, and block the cancelation of crippling student debt for tens of millions of Americans.

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Government Can Ask Social Media Companies to Remove Posts

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/26/2024 09:31 AM

Washington, DC...Argued March 18, 2024—Decided June 26, 2024. Under their longstanding content-moderation policies, social-media platforms have taken a range of actions to suppress certain categories of speech, including speech they judge to be false or misleading. In 2020, with the outbreak of COVID–19, the platforms announced that they would enforce these policies against users who post false or misleading content about the pandemic. The platforms also applied misinformation policies during the 2020 election season. During that period, various federal officials regularly spoke with the platforms about COVID–19 and election-related misinformation. For example, White House officials publicly and privately called on the platforms to do more to address vaccine misinformation.
