This is going to be a long one, John, but it’s important. If you don’t have time to read everything, here’s the TL;DR:

The corrupt Supreme Court delivered a major blow to federal agencies’ power to regulate. They’ve opened the door for billionaires and corporations to effectively decide which laws apply to them. So it’s up to us to call for accountability for the Court. Add your name TODAY to demand the highest level of accountability for the highest Court in the land.

It’s been a busy summer, John.

With all the election updates in the news, we wouldn’t blame you if you’d forgotten about the Supreme Court decisions that were announced a few weeks ago.

But one of the most monumental decisions of our lifetime came down this summer, John. And its consequences will be more far-reaching than you can imagine.

Here’s the situation:

For the last 40 years, expert federal agencies have had the power to implement critical, life-saving regulations.

Everything, from food safety regulations to environmental protections, was possible because these federal agencies were able to utilize their expertise to issue regulations. The system worked because of a judicial doctrine called Chevron deference, and we can credit a lot of the progress we’ve made to it.

Then, just a few weeks ago, our corrupt Supreme Court ruled to overturn this precedent, saying that if any part of a law is left open to interpretation, federal agencies no longer have the final authority to decide what it means.

So if the EPA tries to rein in pollution through a provision under the Clean Air Act, a corporation can sue to get the rule knocked off — and corrupt judges can overrule agency experts and side with that corporation.

Yeah. It’s bad.

And it’s no coincidence that this disastrous ruling was handed down after numerous reports of corruption from Supreme Court justices.

So what can we do?

LFG,
