One of the newsletters I read recently quoted a passage from "The Grapes of Wrath".
If people still cannot imagine the future we are facing, based (in no small part) on Don Mcgahn's judicial choices, a re-reading of this classic should suffice.
"if we apply OSHA’s toothless version of the intelligible principle test, we upset the social contract on which our republic stands." I would say that anyone who came of working age in the past 53 years well understands the social contract under which the republic--and their lives--stand.
Google Ralph Nader if you want to know what industries create without federal government regulation. Google Ford Pinto to see what the world was like before federal transportation safety regulations.
This disdain for OSHA, combined with Republicans pushing back on child labor laws (not to mention their position on Covid-era restrictions), makes conservatives look like cartoon villains. Who are they fighting for? Not workers.
So what is the ultimate goal? Neuter the EPA and OSHA for example? How do we then ensure water, workplace safety ? I guess we have civil litigation for damages?
Congress would have to provide precise legislation in its place.
It seems like the protections we all take for granted would disappear? And Congress would have to expand dramatically to handle the change?
It’s difficult for me to comprehend where this could go, so please let us know the worst case scenario.
Also, I wonder if Allstates has considered what its liability or worker comp insurance premiums would be if their activities (and the activities of their peers) were completely unregulated?
I honestly find these kind of comments to be really frustrating. I just saw a similar thing on Twitter, so I feel like I should expand on it here.
Obviously, nothing is a “surprise” to everyone, but, at the same time and just as obviously, it is a surprise to many. And my job is to explain it -- without condescending to people that they should know it already. Additionally, the specifics matter and while the big-picture might not be a “surprise,” the specifics can have surprising elements and, regardless, they are relevant and a part of story-telling to educate more people.
Ultimately, I feel like this sort of a response is the left’s version of when people on the right respond to every story about a diversity-related “first” by responding, “And why does that matter?”
These Trump judges won't rest until they eviscerate Congress and the Executive Branch.
They literally want to finish what the Civil War started.
I wonder how they expect to enforce their own rulings as they seem to want to legislate from the bench.
Their rulings will mean NO enforcement.
No there will be law enforcement but only against us🙁 Though that's not really much different from the 2 tier justice system today.
I don't mean just this ruling, I mean their rulings and approach in general and where it would lead/has lead.

they won't be happy until the poor are dead, enslaved, and the world is burning as we pile fuel into our own furnace.
they must be stopped.
materially- there is no difference between an oligarch and a monarch. one just has more plausible deniability based on revisionist technicality.
"well they're not kings, so its ok!"
Ummm... That's already our reality😔

He should have labeled his opinion “dubitante” rather than dissenting.
If SCOTUS actually scuttled the administrative state, all their lawyer pals who get rich on regulation cases would have to become lobbyists.

Some states have already relaxed their child labor laws. Now OSHA is on the chopping block.
If anyone is surprised by this, I’d love to know why. The goal here has always been to restore pre-Civil War America, in all respects.

Understood. I won't do it again.
Today is gonna be the day that [we’re] gonna throw it back to you
And by now, you should've somehow realised what you gotta do
[We] don't believe that anybody feels the way [ypu] do about [OSHA] now
The Judges not only want to take away Presidential powers, but Congressional powers also, & rule us as if it were 1776.
