"It’ll become impotent."...Maybe that's their problem and what's with grads from Georgetown Prep anyhow? Gorsuch, Kavanaugh... hmmm. Anyhow, on to substance. I worked on air regs pursuant to the Clean Air Act back in the '90's and that law was one of the broadest, best laws ever written until the recent erosion. Clean Water Act too. Refineries like Chevron were trying to get around stationary source regs. and would bang in 100's of mobil source air compressors to run the refinery - literally. Plant 'turn sounds' were supposed to last a month and ended up lasting several by running the plant on mobile sources. So, we wrote and enacted mobile source air emission regs for construction equipment. Great Stuff. Now, refineries do anything they want; biggest problem is no enforcement power because the EPA is so gutted.

Scotus' drive to inflict "Liber-Terrorism" on America should scare the bejesus out of everyone but Deadbeat Billionaires, corporations, and their Republican lackeys. This will become another grisly horror episode of "Scotus Gone Wild".

The way out of this mess is daunting, and necessary. Congress must re-enact and broaden the laws that Scotus will "invalidate", by invoking Article 3.2.2 to prohibit any Scotus meddling and bullying.

Then, Scotus reform is needed to immediately begin Term Limits and Court Expansion. Immediate Term Limits would permit the removal of Thomas and Alito, the two longest serving justices, put them on a lower court, and put two new liberal justices on the bench. It would be possible to then begin reviewing and reversing egregious rulings like Citizens United, Dobbs, Heller, Shelby...

Given the burgeoning evidence of rampant and long-standing Scotus corruption, a future Scotus will have the Mandate to vacate and review any case adjudicated in the past 50 years - or since the "Lewis Powell Doctrine" called for an "Activist Supreme Court".

Judges' corrupt rulings can not stand.

Make No Mistake: We are already in the fascist abyss.
