Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:

"It is this Court's opinion that this rule infringes on businesses' First Amendment right to free speech."

Now that they've thrown out the Chevron Doctrine they can just say "There isn't an explicit law that says you can do that so you can't."

Yup. "Bumblefucks DVD emporium" will oddly have 100k to splash out on lawyers to sue in that one Texas federal court with a Trump judge that refuses to abide by random cases being distributed, and this will be on hold for the whole country. The supreme courts shadow docjet will then affirm it with no comment, and then we wait for it to reach them, where they will release an opinion on the last day saying it's illegal, and also so is the FTC, and also senators are kings like presidents.
