The Supreme Court has gone rogue. We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. Congress must act. And we must pressure Congress to act, while it still can. #TheMajority

I thought hard before saying it. I’m sorry to cause you distress, but the EPA ruling and the Courts willingness to review the independent state legislature doctrine are fundamental attacks on our government.
The court took power on itself to review laws. Congress can limit that power whenever it wishes.
We are still #TheMajority, and for at least two more years, the power of the federal government will not be used to silence us. There is still time to right this

WVa v. EPA is out.
It's by ROBERTS... not Gorsuch. Which means it's still a dumpster fire opinion, but likely does not take down the entire administrative state with it.
6-3. No mention of Chevron!

🚨ALERT: "Today, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a Republican petition out of North Carolina focused on the state’s congressional map, opening up review on the radical independent state legislature (ISL) doctrine during the Court’s next term."

Slavery, segregation, voting rights, gerrymandering and abortion all have one thing in common:
“States rights.”
Since the first draft of the constitution, “Leave it up to the states” has been code for “Leave it up to the racists.”
