Gotta love a shitty repub SCOTUS. Its awesome.
Sovcit-tier reasoning from some of the highest points in our rotten justice system once again.
Congress creates agency to assist them in their duties. Agency works as intended and does them. Court blocks them by saying “you were made to do X, not X.”
This is why we can’t have nice things.
It indeed is! They’ve been packing the courts since Regan. The US court system is basically the real government now.
Fuck Texas, residents of the state can keep their fucking non-competes if they love them so fucking much… elsewhere let’s move ahead with this fucking awesome policy.
If your company has PTO hours and you leave your job in Texas they don’t require you get paid out those hours so they are just lost. My coworker learned that. Absolutely need better worker protections across the board and Non-competes getting tossed is huge.
Honestly, if you’re choosing to live in Texas at this point you should expect to have very few personal rights.
… do you just expect everybody who lives there to pack up and leave? Even though their entire lives might be there and moving costs a ton?
They said “choosing,” which is the key word in their statement. Some people don’t have a choice like you said, but that’s really just a matter of the push/pull forces of migration at this point.
Yeah that’s fair. I don’t quite know why I read that the way I did, but I read the “choosing” as “lives there and isn’t actively attempting to move”.
Yea, I honestly don’t know what low income folks and kids can do - it’s such a regressive place but if you’re stuck there you just have to bear it and hope for change.
The original comment I was responding to was talking about PTO reclamation which is, sadly, a pretty white collar concern.
Fuck Texas. Anytime I hear people complain about “Democrat policies” around me, I just wish they’d move to their utopia in Florida, Texas, or any of the other “who’ll come up with the stupidest bullshit freedom-encroaching laws next” red state.
Lina Khan looking fierce in that thumbnail. That’s what I’m voting for in November.
One of the highlights of the Biden admin, definitely.
It’s like peaceful reform is impossible.
Unfortunately, that’s the way things are looking right now. The Heritage Foundation is also threatening violence against the left if they don’t fall in line.
As if they won’t commit violence anyway. Domestic terrorists the lot. All of MAGA should be on no fly lists and banned from owning guns.
Theyre going as fast as they can in a mad blitz trying to cause as much harm as possible before they get stopped
Except no one’s stopping em. Its like a sloth trying to stop a mosquito.
Almost like they don’t really want them stopped… just to look like they’re trying
Rule of law is quickly being destroyed in the US. It’s a full-on coup of lawmaking ability
Congress blocks laws. Agencies can’t make laws. Judges can make laws. President is above the law.
What Republicans hate about China is their big lead on the human rights abuse game… They’re trying to catch up.
This wasn’t SCOTUS. They would agree, but this was not them.
These are coming down because of SCOTUS taking down Chevron. Now every rule must explicitly by made by the bills congress passes. They can no longer state an intent and hire experts to implement those intents vis rules.
We are heading into a Libertarians wet dream of government agencies being nearly Powerless thanks to our SCOTIS.
Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. created this monster. So yes the supreme court created this issue.
Weird cause I’ve got the FTC act right here. Says this:
(a) Declaration of unlawfulness; power to prohibit unfair practices; inapplicability to foreign trade (1) Unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.
And then later on it has this whole entire section where it lays out the process for how the FTC is supposed to make rules in regards to unfair or deceptive practices
Except as provided in subsection (h) of this section, the Commission may prescribe– (A) interpretive rules and general statements of policy with respect to unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce (within the meaning of section 45(a)(1) of this title), and (B) rules which define with specificity acts or practices which are unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce (within the meaning of section 45(a)(1) of this title)
And more sections about how they can enforce those rules on individual rule breakers.
Sure sounds like congress was trying to give the FTC the authority to make rules about unfair competition. Both general rules and with “specificity” apparently. Specifically here, non compete agreements have been declared an unfair practice and they followed all rule making procedures as laid out in the law.
You missed the news where the Supremos say they’re the only regulators that matter now. In the decision before that they legalized bribery.
Not bribery, just a surprise gift after doing a favor without being promised anything in return! Totally different thing, you guys!! /s
You know they’ll start pulling shit like ‘You do this new thing for me and I’ll tip you for that other thing you did for me in the past <wink>’
A gratuity of 10k. I guess for the corrupt members of the court, $10k and a $10 are about the same.
Yes, theoretically this should be fine even in a post-Chevron environment. Let’s see how it goes, though…
Everyone should expect to see A LOT more of this ‘lacks authority’ bullshit to regulatory bodies in the wake of the sup court’s Chevron decision and everything else the federalist society’s thinktanks come up with
any day, whenever we the people want, we can ‘fix’ these judges.
I would just get a cat. Usually they fix them for free at the shelter. I mean you can fix a judge, don’t get me wrong. But you probably don’t want to do it cuz it’s messy, and they don’t like it! I haven’t seen one judge yet say how good getting fixed was. Not one.
Here’s the great thing, their dislike is a feature not a bug!

Yet another reason why I’m willing to pay out the ass to live in California. If I become an expert in a technology field, and leave a toxic company for a different company in the same field, my previous employer can’t sue me.
