Theoretically. In practice I doubt it's this easy. Bought-out judges in Texas have had a field day since chevron is gone and you can easily say "well the law didn't say this!!!"
Our current regulations made the cut off. Going forward, I have much less faith in the agencies (or congress) to actually get anything done regulatory-wise. Which, frankly, has been the aim of the American right for at least 50 years.
- themaninthedark 2y agoIf there was "Bought out Texas judges" that were blocking such rule making, I would agree. However, if the agency has not even tried, I can't sit here and blame Texas judges or anyone else. Why aren't these same judges blocking this rule? It's from the same agency. We have had this problem for how many years exactly? Chevron was overturned this year. And when has the possibility of a court blocking action ever stopped an agency from even trying? Trump with his stupid boarder antics went through at least 5 lawsuits, Biden tried to get student loan forgiveness at least 3 times. If the agency gives a damn, they try lawsuits be damned. This is just them clapping themselves on the back for doing what amounts to almost nothing.
