The Supreme Court on Friday overturned a landmark 40-year-old decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power, upending their authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly.

    What gets me is part of Project 2025 is planning on reclassifying all of the workers in the exact agencies this affects with sycophants and yes-men. As I understand it, the entire idea of that move is that Trump and the GOP can bypass Congress and the courts and essentially rule however they want.

    Doesn’t this decision run counter to that? Instead of allowing the regulatory bodies that are going to be sycophantilized to just run shot over their domains, now the risk having a non-sympathetic judge or an unfavorable swing in voting in Congress?

      I think it’s for when the law is considered vague, they don’t rely on the “experts” in these positions to give an answer they let the SCOTUS decide now.

      What project 2025 would want to do is ensure the day to day operations are kept in a “business friendly” manner too so if they control both I guess it’s just more ways for them to get what they want. :(
