Neil Gorsuch is Preparing His Revenge - You would hope the SC couldn't get worse....

We are really going to be screwed on this one. We already know how it's gonna turn out.

"Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies, in what could be the most consequential re-write of the protective “deep state” since it was largely created during the New Deal in the 1930s.

If they pull it off, they could destroy the ability of:
— the EPA to regulate pollutants,
— the USDA to keep our food supply safe,
— the FDA to oversee drugs going onto the market,
— OSHA to protect workers,
— the CPSC to keep dangerous toys and consumer products off the market,
— the FTC to regulate monopolies,
— the DOT to come up with highway and automobile safety standards,
— the ATF to regulate guns,
— the Interior Department to regulate drilling and mining on federal lands,
— the Forest Service to protect our woodlands and rivers,
— and the Department of Labor to protect workers’ rights."

Better than China Russia or the other super corrupt “fuck the people” countries but still .

They are really stepping way outside their constitutional role and making their own law.
They deserve a good hard tug on the leash.

serve the people in ways that individuals and private organizations can't or haven't, usually what only government is able to do.

The ACA alone requires several thousand regulations to administer related to all aspects, from medical devices, to medications, medical practices, insurance, hospital maintenance, licensing, health records, patient privacy, on and on and on.
