The post-debate euphoria has finally worn off.\u00a0 I\u2019ve watched the various media and political operatives screech and croak in horror at the spectacle of Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive flat lining.\u00a0 And it was immensely gratifying.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t had this much fun since Election Night 2016.\u00a0 Wonderful. \u00a0But now it\u2019s time to put down the toys and look out into the cold, hard light of Saturday and move on.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t appear that the Democrat elite has decided to pull the plug on Dementia Joe.\u00a0 At least not yet.\u00a0 Obama and Clinton have texted that Biden\u2019s performance is just one of those things and everything will be status quo on the way toward glorious victory in November.\u00a0 Well, good.\u00a0 Leaving Joe in is the best thing that could happen for Trump.\u00a0 There will be a small subset of voters who don\u2019t care for Trump but are horrified by the prospect of a man as obviously cognitively damaged as Biden, in charge of the US military and other critical agencies of the government.\u00a0 It\u2019s got to give them pause wondering who is actually running the government instead of Biden right now.\u00a0 So, this revelation has to boost Trump somewhat.\u00a0 How much is the big question.\u00a0 We should have some polls in a week or two.<\/p>\n
I saw that the Supreme Court came out with a couple of rulings.\u00a0 One is relevant to President Trump and other January 6th<\/sup> defendants.\u00a0 It overrules charging them with obstruction of a government proceeding.\u00a0 This will help a number of the defendants because this serious charge was the only felony for a number of the defendants.<\/p>\n The other decision is much more important for the country at large.\u00a0 It overturned the so-called \u201cChevron deference.\u201d\u00a0 According to this 1984 ruling courts were forced to show deference to federal agencies when interpreting ambiguities in the law within their area of expertise.<\/p>\n \u201c”Chevron is overruled. Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n The court’s conservative justices were in the majority, with the liberal justices dissenting. The ruling will make it easier for judges to second-guess actions by regulators, empowering challengers to regulations across federal agencies.<\/strong><\/p>\n Business, conservative and libertarian groups cheered the decision, saying it eliminates a rule that requires courts to favor the government in all manner of challenges to regulation. The litigation was part of what has been termed the “war on the administrative state,” an effort to weaken the federal agency bureaucracy that interprets laws, crafts federal rules and implements executive action.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Now this is brilliant.\u00a0 With the right courts and executive branch oversight many overreaches by agencies like EPA and the IRS can be challenged in court and reversed.\u00a0 This is a wonderful result.<\/p>\n So that is the world today.\u00a0 A mixture of progress and regress.\u00a0 In one direction we see the Supreme Court correcting past mistakes.\u00a0 In another rogue judges and prosecutors serve up lawfare against the enemies of a demented president of the United States.<\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s not as if we\u2019re all not used to the spectacle.\u00a0 The encouraging sign is that more of it is happening out in the open and more and more normies are getting an eyeful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The post-debate euphoria has finally worn off.\u00a0 I\u2019ve watched the various media and political operatives screech and croak in horror at the spectacle of Joe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3344,714,4609,135,3519],"class_list":["post-29379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-2024-elections","tag-bureaucracy","tag-chevron-deference","tag-deep-state","tag-failed-biden-presidency"],"yoast_head":"\n
