- stronglikedan 2y ago> the SCOTUS judges are the de facto experts of all matters and the regulators And thankfully so.
- kccoder 2y agoCurious why you think these nine individuals are better suited than people with actual expertise? In the ruling in which they self-ordained these new powers, Gorsuch confused nitrous oxide with nitrogen oxide, five times. Better hope Gorsuch didn't rule on dental anesthetics on your next visit to the dentist. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-supreme-courts-contempt-for-facts-is-a-betrayal-of-justice/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-supreme-court...
- consumer451 2y agoEspecially since one of the main arguments I have heard from folks who approve of the ruling is "but these agency people are un-elected officials!" So are Supreme Court Justices, who unlike agency people have no ethics rules.
- Ajedi32 2y agoBecause allowing the "people with actual expertise" to decide for themselves how much power they have over the lives of others is a blatantly obvious conflict of interest?
- renegade-otter 2y agoAs opposed to the judges who fly on donor private jets and then take the cases of the said donors. No conflict of interest there. Zero. And, oh yeah, zero enforceable ethics rules. The disdain for expertise is something I would not expect on HN, but here we are.
