A Right Wing Cannot Flap Alone, or, Donald Trump Screwed the Putsch

[Dark Jaguar]

Chevron Deference is dead now.  If you don't know what that is, neither did I, but it's apparently VERY important.  It's what allows subject matter experts working in the various federal institutes to decide on policy instead of uninformed politicians.  Now, EVERY policy, from education to medicine to food regulation, will need to be specifically written out by politicians themselves into law.  I get the impression that republicans are going to end up regretting this, because they loved hiding repressive policies behind a friendly veneer, and now they're going to have to very specifically spell out exactly what they're trying to do to the public each time.



They are steadily dismantling the nature of how government laws even work.  What's next to fall?  My prediction is federal sovereignty, a ruling that makes federal laws subservient to state laws and undoes yet another important precedent that goes so far back, it's the only reason that something like the abolition of slavery could occur legally.  Alright, maybe you doubt that they'd go for that doctrine, except you can't fail to remember how often republicans in the past few decades have gone on and on about "state's rights".  Overturning that doctrine would make state's rights supreme.  Okay, maybe you doubt after it's overturned that any state would try to legalize slavery again.  Sure, maybe not now, but you know what WOULD get legalized instantly?  The states that currently allow child marriage would be able to go even further.  There are elected officials in states like Arkansas and Mississippi, right now, pushing to expand the legalization of child marriage, and they would easily push for outright legalizing sex in those marriages the moment they could.

We are in some major trouble right now...
