    The problem is that everything is now legislated through the courts which is now how this system was designed.

      This was not stopping legislation but instead executive action not backed up by legislation. Wouldn’t the next logical step be to actually pass a law?

        It is stopping legislation, the Heroes Act specifically. Congress acted to give the Executive branch this power, the Executive branch acted well within that scope, and SCOTUS struck it down by ignoring the plain text of the statute.

        It was judicial action to stop legal executive action backed up by legislation. Unless you think Missouri actually had standing and the phrase “waive or modify” doesn’t mean what it clearly means.

        They’ll just rule against the law, too. That said, the next step is another executive order (“taking into account the ruling, here’s a new EA”) and a law.

          Congress does have the power to write into their laws that they are not eligible for judicial review… but that would give the game away if they actually used that power, they wouldn’t be able to hand-wring and say ‘oh we want to but we can’t because the Supreme Court, etc…’

          Dems like to set up their lore progressive bills to fail, but it’s never their fault that way they can fund raise on all the ‘hard work they’re doing for the people’ and they just ‘need to beat the mean-bad-not-good republicans so you should definitely VOTE for the dems every time!’

          At least the republicans don’t really hide that they aren’t out to help regular Americans? They all suck equally when they’re owned by corporate lobbyists so whatever I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️
