Supreme Court Hears Key Case That Could Strangle Power of US Federal Agencies
The Supreme Court is currently holding hearings on a case that could have far-reaching implications for the power of US federal agencies. The case challenges the Chevron Deference, a legal doctrine that grants agencies the authority to interpret and implement laws passed by Congress. If the Supreme Court decides to undermine or eliminate this doctrine, it could significantly limit the power of federal agencies and potentially put the interests of the American people at risk.
As I delved into the comments on this news article, I couldn’t help but notice the strong and diverse opinions surrounding this case.… Continue reading
Texas Governor Defies Supreme Court Ruling, Continues to Fortify Border with Razor Wire
I am shocked and deeply concerned by Governor Abbott’s decision to defy a Supreme Court ruling and continue fortifying the Texas border with razor wire. It is a blatant disregard for the rule of law, and it sets a dangerous precedent for our democracy.
Abbott’s statement on social media, where he proudly proclaims that the Texas National Guard is “holding the line,” is nothing more than a political stunt that is costing billions of dollars to Texas taxpayers. It raises important questions about whether blue cities and states would be allowed to ignore rulings they don’t agree with, or if this privilege is reserved only for Republicans.… Continue reading
Supreme Court Allows Federal Agents to Cut Razor Wire Texas Installed on US-Mexico Border
As I read the news about the Supreme Court’s decision to allow federal agents to cut the razor wire that Texas had installed on the US-Mexico border, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of frustration, confusion, and concern.

The most troubling aspect of this decision is that four Supreme Court justices voted against upholding the Constitution and federal law.… Continue reading
We are currently witnessing what many are calling the biggest judicial power grab since 1803, and it is a cause for concern for anyone who values democracy and the balance of power. The issue at the heart of this power struggle is the Chevron deference, a precedent established in 1984 that requires courts to defer to an agency’s interpretation of the law. However, this long-standing doctrine is now being challenged, and the ramifications of its potential downfall could be far-reaching.
The conservative shift in recent years has seen a change in attitude towards Chevron deference. Conservatives, who once championed the doctrine as a way to ensure that power remains in the hands of elected officials, have now started to view the unelected courts as a more effective means of controlling policymaking than the executive branch and its agencies.… Continue reading
Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote
As I sit here and read about the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Biden administration to remove the razor wire on the US-Mexico border, I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. The fact that this decision was a 5-4 vote is absolutely terrifying. How is it possible that something as clear as removing razor wire becomes a split decision?
This issue goes beyond immigration. This is about the division of powers outlined in our Constitution. States do not have the authority to control the federal border.… Continue reading
