> The hot takes on HN on the day of were exhausting—all of a sudden it turned out that this tech forum was chock full of lawyers, most of whom knew for a fact that this ruling was the bringer of the end times for rule of law in the US. I rather enjoy people trying to understand & interpret collaboratively. I effing hate stuffy neck people berating the hoi poi for daring to communicate. Effing hate this elitist shit smearing attempt to silence people. I can agree that on second reflection it seems slightly less alarming than Loper initially appeared. But hardly. There are now myriad courts where folks can go judge shop to get the laws spun as they want, which feels like a certain level of chaos, and one to be arbitrated ultimately by politically appointed for life extremist theocratic. And it's unlikely as hell congress is going to get around to doing shit. There is a full swing de-governance project afoot & the madness-by-design & just sheer incompenent thrashings of a party sure make it seem like nothing can get done. What few institutions congress did have now seem at risk: House Intelligence Committee being filled with far right radicals, Perry & Jackson. I agree dysfunction elsewhere isn't a solid enough motive for shifting power as such, but it just seems so unlikely that courts are at all equipped capable or competent, and much much less able to be impartial or fair, as politically appointed lifelong sole-arbiters of how every agency can act. It seems likely to greatly constrain us.
