Sullivan stooged for the government at the district court level, then handed it off to a 3-judge appeals court panel.
Obama stooge Sri Srinivasan and Clinton stooge Judith Rogers outvoted Trump judge Justin Walker 2 to 1 to continue raping the herring fishermen.
Good. SCOTUS needs to gut our radical EPA since Congress won’t.
bkmk
I’m an attorney, and when we read Wickard v. Filburn in law school, I honestly thought it was the worst decision I had ever seen. It’s absolutely ridiculous and needs to go.
Best news since the Bruen decision. Can’t wait to see federal power rolled back!
Then I want to see Wickard v. Filburn overruled, along with the CLEARLY unconstitutional NFA. Let’s see if the Supremes can do this before Biden and the Dems complete their destruction of our precious Republic.
Wickard v. Filburn is the single worst decision in SC history, eclipsing even Dred Scott, which was at least repealed pretty quickly thereafter by the 13th Amendment and “some other actions” in the early- to mid-1860s. Wickard has been afflicting this nation and stealing EVERYONE’S liberties for over 80 years.
“What needs to be reversed is Wickard v Filburn.”

Agreed…then the NFA and GCA. “…shall not be infringed “
“But what the RKBA folks have long argued is that the gist of the court’s finding (which subsequent courts have ignored) is that a sawed-off shotgun does not have a reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia, so the Second Amendment doesn’t come into play.”
——————
Actually, the case indicated that “it is not within judicial notice” that a sawed-off SG contributes to the preservation of efficiency of a well-regulated militia.” Not within notice because Miller was dead by the time the case came to the SC, and since no one was being paid to represent him, no argument at all was presented on that score. Still, at least Hugo Black (seated in 1936) was a WW1 veteran, and knew DAMNED WELL that sawed-offs were HIGHLY effective, being colloquially called “trench brooms” because they swept so many enemy troops from the trenches.
“I’m an attorney, and when we read Wickard v. Filburn in law school, I honestly thought it was the worst decision I had ever seen. It’s absolutely ridiculous and needs to go.”

Me, too. Been waiting and praying for repeal for the last 39 or so years. As you know, the wheels of Justice grind very slowly…but we may yet see a substantial repeal of the New Deal decisions that corruptly allowed the federal government to usurp our liberties.
It has lots of competition.
For instance, have you recently read Brown?
Years ago when I first read it I was shocked to learn that the opinion basically hinged on how people felt about segregation, how segregation made them feel, and not if segregation was ever proper to begin with. What I saw was that if someone could ever claim, however fatuously, that the feelings about segregation had been dealt with (say if they claimed that black persons were characterized as wanting it on their terms) then the way would be clear for segregation to return under Brown.
What Brown should have been was an acknowledgement that the intent of the statutes — inequality before laws — as well as the means and the ends of those laws was to be unequal before the laws and as equality before law is sorta in and inequality not, the latter get the heave ho.
It mystifies me to this day that the intent, means and ends of those laws were not the thing but FEELINGS were.
Roosevelt wanted to pack SCOTUS by forced retirements and changing the number of justices. Members of his own party said what Roosevelt wanted was "more power than a good man should want, or a bad man should have."
THIS is why the dems are hell bent on removing Thomas. It will completely upend, and largely destroy, The Administrative Stae. It will also require CONGRESS to largely write their own bills.
They will go absolutely bonkers now.
Yes. And as FDR was the king of pay to play as well as the President who seized everyone’s Money (the States are actually forbidden to use anything but gold or silver coin to pay their debts) and generally kicked the Constitution to the curb ... well, you can bet I do not consider him to have been an honorable man.
I forgot motivation for those statutes.
Yep
If congress did not want laws to be ambiguous, why are there so many ambiguous laws at all levels? I guess one could argue that lawmakers are lazy, but that gets us to the same corrupt place.
The same congressman who made that speech went on to say that court packing is on the same moral plane as ballot box stuffing and jury rigging. “The ends justify the means.”
Wow, so he prophesied the modern DNC!
“...What could possibly be more important to our country than mandating electric vehicles? is something that SHOULD be decided by the people’s representatives in Congress...”
Nope, nope and more nope.
Should be decided by a free and fair open market to peoples’ needs and desires. NO government intervention whatsoever.
They have no such power.
