SCOTUS Decisions: Delivers Kill Shot to Big Government; J6 Decision Affects Hundreds of Capitol Protestors; Rules on Camping in Public Spaces

Paula Bolyard, Kevin Downey Jr., Chris Queen : Jun 28, 2024  PJ Media

Three important rulings came down from the US Supreme Court today, they are summarized below from PJ Media, with links to read more on each decision. The Court will issue the remaining decisions for this session next week, including the case of presidential immunity.

[PJMedia.com] Today, the Supreme Court voted to overrule the so-called Chevron deference in a 6-3 decision. The ruling is a HUGE victory for those who hate the massive power the administrative state has amassed in recent decades. (Image: Pixabay)

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, concluded: "The Administrative Procedure Act requires courts to exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, and courts may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous; Chevron is overruled."

In the most basic terms, the Chevron deference (also called the Chevron doctrine) allows the courts, through a two-step process, to defer to "reasonable" administrative agency interpretations if a federal statute is unclear or ambiguous.

The case affects hundreds of individuals who participated in the mostly peaceful "breach" of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Those sentences will all need to be reviewed now. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion. Justice Amy Coney Barrett dissented, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan...

...The case stems from J6 suspect Joseph Fischer, who was hit with seven charges, a mix of misdemeanors and felonies. Fischer portends the law, § 1512(c)(2), only covers evidence, not "conduct," and thus should be dropped.

The Pravda press immediately pushed the narrative that January 6 was an "insurrection," though no one has been convicted of trying to topple the US government.

Many who entered were older people armed only with a Trump flag and an arrhythmia...

SCOTUS Rules on Camping in Public Spaces

Chris Queen

[PJMedia.com] In what sounds like one of the weirdest cases in recent memory, the Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 in favor of municipalities in the case of City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson. The case involved whether municipalities could bar homeless people from "camping" in public spaces, addressing the question, "Does the enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property constitute ‘cruel and unusual punishment' prohibited by the Eighth Amendment?"

The short summary from SCOTUSblog's Amy Howe in the site's live chat is that "The court holds that the enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute 'cruel and unusual punishment' barred by the Eighth Amendment."...
