Steve Bannon Wants to Destroy the "Administrative State." Neil Gorsuch Could Be the Key.

The Supreme Court nominee wants to throw out the precedent underpinning federal administrative law.

"the deconstruction of the administrative state"—in other words, the evisceration of decades' worth of rules and regulations and the agencies that enforce them.

"Judge Gorsuch's record points strongly in the direction of Bannon's ominous phrase, toward weakening the ability of agencies to protect our air and water, as well as worker safety and compensation,"

As a federal judge on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, Gorsuch has advocated tossing out the primary Supreme Court precedent underpinning federal administrative law.

Known as "Chevron deference," after the high court's 1984 unanimous ruling in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, (https://www.oyez.org/cases/1983/82-1005) it holds that the courts should defer to federal agencies when it comes to the rules these departments design and implement based on congressional legislation (which sometimes hands the crafting of the nitty-gritty policy details to the government experts).

Chevron deference, for instance, allows the Environmental Protection Agency to have scientists help make rules for enforcing the Clean Air Act, and it permits those regulations to be modified in response to new technology or new threats to the environment.

Gorsuch planted his flag firmly against Chevron in August, when he authored the majority opinion in a case called Gutierrez-Brizuela v. Lynch. (https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/14/14-9585.pdf)

In a highly unusual move, he wrote a lengthy concurrence to his own opinion, laying out his arguments for overturning Chevron and reining in the power of executive agencies.

Mitch McConnell, the man who broke America

“No majority leader wants written on his tombstone that he presided over the end of the Senate,” the minority leader said (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/11/mitch-mcconnell-filibuster-reform_n_3579906.html).

He continued: “Breaking the rules to change the rules is un-American. I just hope the majority leader thinks about his legacy, the future of his party, and, most importantly, the future of our country before he acts.”


they were uttered in 2013, by then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), when Democrats pushed through a similar filibuster change for lesser nominations.

That McConnell did a 180 on the topic — going from the institutional defender of the filibuster to the man who destroyed it — is unsurprising. He has frequently shifted his views to suit the needs of the moment. But in this case McConnell was correct in 2013, and what he just did this week was even more ruinous than what he accused the Democrats of doing then.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mitch-mcconnell-the-man-who-broke-america/2017/04/07/8e12f1d8-1bbd-11e7-9887-1a5314b56a08_story.html?utm_term=.2371eb216e6a&wpisrc=nl_most-draw7&wpmm=1

Hahaha - getting really ambitious, ducks. I guess Ginsberg wanted the first woman president to choose her replacement was why she didn't retire under Obama and/or she was so sure Trump wouldn't win. If it were me, I wouldn't have taken that chance - I'd retire and enjoy my grandkids.

Ginsberg, Kennedy, Breyer... all could go this term. Plus Thomas might retire and be replaced by another 50 year old in the mold of Gorsuch.

Sounds great to me but don't want to wish anyone ill (I'm assuming you mean death/illness for 1st 3 since you distinguished retirement for Thomas). That'd be 7-2 - for conservatives, that alone would make Trump's presidency a great success even if he didn't do a single thing else.

Trump denies he considered pulling Neil Gorsuch nomination: 'I never even wavered' :lol

President Trump is disputing a news report that he almost pulled the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch because he criticized the president's rhetorical attacks on judges.

"A story in the @washingtonpost that I was close to “rescinding” the nomination of Justice Gorsuch prior to confirmation is FAKE NEWS," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "I never even wavered and am very proud of him and the job he is doing as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The unnamed sources don’t exist!"

As the Senate considered Gorsuch's nomination earlier this year, Trump criticized federal jurists who had ruled against his proposed travel ban from Muslim-majority countries. The president called one a "so-called" judge, and described an appeals court panel as "disgraceful."

After a February meeting with Gorsuch, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the Supreme Court nominee described these attacks as "disheartening" and "demoralizing."

The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-reportedly-considered-rescinding-gorsuchs-nomination/2017/12/18/ad2b3b68-e1c7-11e7-9eb6-e3c7ecfb4638_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_gorsuch-9pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.3a51d2eca92d), citing unnamed sources, reported that those comments upset

Trump, who "worried that Gorsuch would not be 'loyal.'"

The president, according to the report, "told aides that he was tempted to pull Gorsuch’s nomination — and that he knew plenty of other judges who would want the job."

The Republican Senate confirmed Gorsuch to the lifetime post, and Trump frequently takes credit for his confirmation as a key accomplishment of his time in office.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/12/19/trump-denies-he-considered-pulling-nails-gorsuch-nomination-never-even-wavered/964383001/

Trash is SO IGNORANT of US govt, that he thinks a SCOTUS judge he nominates must be "loyal" to Trash.

Trash is LYING about worrying that Gorsuch wouldn't be loyal to Trash personally, because Trash ALWAYS LIES.

Unanimous Supreme Court overturns a Gorsuch decision ... in the middle of his confirmation hearing (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/22/1646072/-Unanimous-Supreme-Court-overturns-a-Gorsuch-decision-in-the-middle-of-his-confirmation-hearing)

Neil Gorsuch’s belief in

reading the law as narrowly as needed to screw ordinary people (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/21/1645803/-Gorsuch-says-law-gave-a-truck-driver-two-choices-Freeze-or-be-fired-His-fellow-judges-disagreed)

reared its head again during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing


Under Gorsuch’s opinion in Luke P.,

a school district complies with the law so long as they provide educational benefits that “must merely be ‘more than de minimis.’”
“De minimis” is a Latin phrase meaning “so minor as to merit disregard (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/de%20minimis).”

So Gorsuch essentially concluded that

school districts comply with their obligation to disabled students so long as they provide those students with a little more than nothing.
All eight justices rejected Gorsuch’s approach.

IDEA, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, “is markedly more demanding than the ‘merely more than de minimis’ test applied by the Tenth Circuit.”

Indeed, Roberts added,

Gorsuch’s approach would effectively strip many disabled students of their right to an education.


Sure, maybe if Antonin Scalia had been alive, the Supreme Court’s decision would have been 8-1, but

Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas just said Gorsuch was wrong—and wrong because he would deny disabled kids an education.

Gorsuch exemplifies the extremist and/or incompetent trash judges the oligarchy is promoting to Trash.

Of course disabled kids need lots of extra TAX DOLLARS that the avaricious, predatory oligarchy assholes want for themselves.

What votes of his have you liked? The only SC case I have been following much is the sales tax for online purchases, which I have mixed feelings on due to the difficulties collecting sales tax over so many different jurisdictions. But I still probably lean to the side of Gorsuch, Kennedy, Ginsburg, and Thomas that they should be collected to even the playing field with brick and mortars as much as I love not paying tax from out of state online purchases (it sounds like Roberts could be the swing vote).

I mean he's a conservative so not many but from reading about him he doesn't seem like a biased goober and he will stand up to Trump. The next nominee could honestly be someone like Ted Cruz or someone similar to Jeff Sessions honestly or some other culture warrior. I would honestly expect a very Trumpy pick next time
