In a major ruling, the Supreme Court on Friday cut back sharply on the power of federal agencies to interpret the laws they administer and ruled that courts should rely on their own interpretion of ambiguous laws.

    Hot on the heels of the debate that pushed the probability of a Trump presidency higher comes another decision in a string of decisions undercutting regulatory power. Boy are corps gonna wipe the floor with workers if Trump wins. 😔

      I’ve seen The Handmaiden’s Tale. I know how mass immigration into Canada would end up, you aren’t going to fool me.

      That’d be a bit excessive, this change doesn’t mean the courts can’t/won’t still accept executive interpretations or that executive rule making is dead. It also doesn’t prohibit the delegation of authority from the legislature to the executive branch, it just requires that they do so explicitly. This ruling returned the legal paradigm on part of admin law to a pre-Reagan state.

        Pretty fucked unless you’re willing to move to a village at least 1 hour’s drive from the nearest city of 100k population. A detached house in my neck of the woods is about 400k CAD and up. Rents start at around 1500 for something decent.

        Trudeau is facing a major insurrection as we speak, so I hope not. Nobody actually likes that rat-faced little fucker Poilievre — they just want Trudeau gone.

          Agreed. But I’m very afraid. I don’t know if they’ll be able to make him step down, and I don’t know if an alternative would be able to close the gap with pipsqueak.

    Combining several recent court decisions, is there a list somewhere with how much I need to “tip” to overturn a federal agency rule I don’t like? Do I need to “tip” multiple levels of judiciary, or can I just “tip” at the top?
