Supreme Court Overturns Evil System; Evil Bastards Cry Foul I TWS

[@benmeltzer]

Note they call it the "Marine Fishery Service" as if it's there to provide you with a benefit rather than get in your way.

OMG! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY THAT THE SC OVER TURNED THIS PREVIOUS RULING. This is the best thing that could have happened to our country. I hope someday that the SC would also address the issue of the bloated Executive Branch that was created by Congress through legislation. I never believed they were granted authority to permanently restructure the Executive Branch because I believed it was a violation of the "seperate but equal clause." Drain the swamp.

Correction: better things that could happen include overturning Martin v. Hunter's Lessee or Wickard v. Filburn.

Looking back, my AP politics teacher was a Libertarian. I remember him explaining about the administrative agencies in exactly this way.

The department of transportation can no longer treat people like property and children?

[@SleepyParamedic]

An excellent choice for a guest on this topic.

Babe, new Tom Woods show dropped

[@FRODOGOOFBALL]

The Chevron decision seems to me like a judge permitting the prosecution to bring in the arresting officer as an independent outside expert and telling the jury the arresting officer is the only one who actually understands the law.

[@AntiNeocons]

Someone should put together stats for violent crime vs disobedience to the agency's penalties.

[@jeffgreene5956]

Excellent episode!

[@mrguy560]

Kevin is one of the best guests. More Kevin!

[@thelawfus]

Agree. May I also suggest Auron MacIntyre as a regular (weekly) guest.

[@michaelborucki2896]

Still can’t get over the amazing intro!

[@namechange4919]

Im honestly concerned about the well-being of Justice Sotomayor. She seems frustrated and burnt out. She is using hyperbole and and the quality of her work doesn't seem up to her normal standards. Hopefully her doctors can get this sorted out.

[@Lurch685]

Her normal standards weren’t exactly stellar.

[@jesse123185]

​@Lurch685 she's always been strictly a diversify hire. She got the job for being a loud latin identity activist

[@brianbob7514]

Experts need 😅 oversight specifically because they are experts.

[@adamsalyards4850]

My favorite guest!

[@jeffgreene5956]

I disagree that you're not affected greatly... You can't even choose what type of milk you want to drink or what type of car you can own and many more things because of these agencies.

[@richhoneysett5600]

I don’t know how we will survive going back to pre 1984 rule making policy. Everyone remembers life was pure chaos back then. Businesses couldn’t operate and the general public didn’t know what to do with themselves or make basic day to day decisions in their lives

[@thelawfus]

Sadly, I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic. (One hopes you are, simply bc your statement is patently ridiculous, but these days who can tell)

[@mattygee6712]

Did I hear it right? Chevron was in 1984, and Scalia wasn't on the court until 1986.

[@johncassani6780]

Right. John Paul Stevens wrote the majority opinion Rehnquist, O’Connor and Thurgood Marshall were the dissenters, I believe. The court wasn’t divided quite so ideologically back then.

[@TPIR_Fan_1972]

Exactly what I was going to say.

[@mattygee6712]

@@johncassani6780 Rehnquist and Marshall were sick and the time, and O'Connor had an investment that precluded her, so she abstained.

[@TPIR_Fan_1972]

Great episode! I loved hearing Kevin say that William Brennan was one of the worst justices in history. Could not agree more! That guy absolutely sucked. So did Thurgood Marshall.

[@suitandtieguy]

Looking forward to Cannibal Corpse doing the next Tom Woods Show theme.

[@Mimarc0A]

Hi. I would like the hear Tom’s opinion on the Immunity case. Thanks!

[@DrProgNerd]

I bought a bunch of the 'Politically Incorrect' books. I read Tom's and Robert Murphy's. There are a couple that I haven't read yet. I just checked my books and it turns out....I already own 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution'. Lol !!! I enjoyed this episode. Guess I'm going to have to read Mr. Gutzman's book now. 🙂

[@sawmillmatt1]

Cool intro!

[@JamesBBKK]

The McDonald v. City of Chicago, IL opinion is full of historical points and analysis, and Thomas really took the bull by the horns in his concurrence by going at the weakly reasoned due process line of cases / thought, e.g.: Applying what is now a well-settled test, the Court concludes that the right to keep and bear arms applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it is “fundamental” to the American “scheme of ordered liberty,” ante, at 767 (citing Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145, 149 (1968)), and “ ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition,’ ” ante, at 767 (quoting Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U. S. 702, 721 (1997)). I agree with that description of the right. But I cannot agree that it is enforceable against the States through a Clause that speaks only to “process.” Instead, the right to keep and bear arms is a privilege of American citizenship that applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause.

[@user-lm2rx7np9g]

What i don't understand is how the question before SCOTUS was valid in the first place. Surely they are an institution established to interpret the law. How can the question ever be that the SCOTUS NOT interpret the law? Isn't that exceeding some fundamental boundary of what SCOTUS can do and say?

[@shane727]

Oh God I thought that was Farage from the thumbnail

[@TrevorHamberger]

I'm going to assume that almost 100% of people criticizing this think it benefits oil companies because of the name Chevron. Like Becky didn't you totally know that they just like repealed this law inability oil companies benefit
