Ugh, the disingenuous “major questions doctrine” is now recognized law, whereby SCOTUS will now just pick and choose which regulatory actions it wants to invalidate by arbitrarily declaring which ones are “major questions” on the basis of becausewesaidso.

Net positive, this is about the best that we could have hoped for. Upholding the long-standing ability to compel things using federal dollars.

Compelling private business in a private venue is a significantly different issue.

I’m just relieved they didn’t kill the whole thing, that would have been seismic and far-reaching.

Ok, Biden, time to pull out things like no-vax, no-fly.

I’m unfamiliar with “major questions doctrine.” Can you point me to a reliable discussion to bring myself up to speed?

  • A group of 20 House Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) offered a bill Wednesday that would nullify Mayor Muriel Bowser’s order. Read it herenu. (The timestamp at the bottom suggests the bill was created shortly after Bowser’s initial move in December.)

And of course he did.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) likened the rules to the Nazi regime i

Whatever! Both parties are the same.

That’s sarcasm by the way.

This ruling doesn’t reflect adherence to conservative principles or doctrine. What it does reflect is uncontrolled libertarianism run amok.

Once in a while my obsessive but very non-legal musings aligns your well-reasoned explanations. This is one of those times. “Great! Now they get to pick and choose at will, while pretending there’s a constitutional basis for it” was my first thought upon seeing this news. What a crock.
