TL;DR; Our country is fucked. SCOTUS just made the unelected, unaccountable, oligarchy of judges the top law of the land, nationwide.
The key point of Chevron was that laws like these are policy decisions, and those policy decisions should be made by the political branches responsive to the voters, Congress and the president, not by unaccountable judges with no constituents. ... (in 1984) The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the Ronald Reagan admins industry-friendly EPA to stick with a lax interpretation of the Clean Air Act.
So the 1984 ruling, and now the overturn, are efforts by a corrupt conservative-stacked court to benefit the conservative political and ideological agenda. I always believed that Americans would never do anything about an illegitimate court dismantling democracy and the rule of law, but it's still just as comically dystopian to watch it happen in real time.
The scotus is illegitimate
They just fucked themselves because every pedant is going to come out in force to mess with them.
Under 40 U.S.C. §6102 the Marshal of the Supreme Court may prescribe regulations, approved by the Chief Justice of the United States, that are necessary for the adequate protection of the Supreme Court Building and grounds and of individuals and property in the Building and grounds; and the maintenance of suitable order and decorum within the Building and grounds.
I'll be suing because the rules they have in place state that there are no demonstrations allowed on the grounds, which is a first amendment violation and not necessary. They also state that there are no guns allowed, a second amendment violation. Their job isn't too protect the justices, just the people inside. Justices didn't have to come if they don't feel safe.
the people who profit and benefit from this don't have to worry about living in a barren toxic wasteland, they'll just make their serfs build them a hardened fortress on every mountain summit, away from the stench of the unwashed proles who serve them hand and foot for table scraps
