Alright so we go back to throwing bricks through CEO house windows at best and dragging their hook asses out into the street at worst
The courts determine what every agency has authority to do now that Chevron is gone, and they're always going to take the capitalist side, especially since so many judges are blatantly taking gifts, so the next few decades are probably going to be pretty fucked up.
Honestly I didn’t know that random courts can do stuff like this in the US. Can't Joe Biden sign some executive order or something?
Joe Biden can punt a child across the white house lawn without consequence. He will simply shrug and call for the courts to be democratic and urge billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes. The end.
as usual rather than passing anything in gridlocksville (congress) dems just have an agency of the executive branch issue a rule leaving it open to all kinds of easy legal challenges. So they can say "we tried"
Biden can challenge this to higher level courts, but since they are also under Republican control they are probably going to tell him to pound sand.
An executive order probably wouldn't do anything (they'd rule it out too)
technically biden could drone strike every judge and not get arrested
coward wont even do that
Have Clarence Thomas shot on the front steps of the court, it’s a fun and legal thrill
Even if they couldnt before, the Supreme Court recentlt ruled that courts get the final call over executive branch stuff. Things are unbelievably fucked over here
I think the executive order would instruct the FTC to enforce their decision on non competes. The problem is that the courts as @Dessa has said the courts are now pushing back against the administrative state with recent decisions that overturned Chevron
Texas so I'm guessing it's the Republican 5th circuit rubber stamp discount shop... As usual these fucks give the oligarchs what they want.
Since they're claiming the FTC doesn't have the right to do this I'm wondering if the supreme rubber stamp courts decision removing Chevron Deference has something to do with it...
Oh my fucking god I think Texas might need to straight up not have courts for a few years. They’ve proven they can’t be trusted with a court if they’re gonna keep doing this shit
Non-compete agreements are basically never upheld in court anyway! 99% of them are already illegal! This was just going to make everyone’s lives easier, including most companies!
US is a democracy most sublime, even when good things somehow manage to get through, judges get to throw them out
Absolutely perfect: the lawyer representing the ghouls challenging the rule is Antonin Scalia’s failson
