I get that it's a big deal, or at least people seem to think so, but what's it mean? In really simple person terms

    The tweet saying there are "no principles here at all" is, of course, a :LIB: take. Others have described the shift in favor of class interests.

    I'll add a parallel analogy that might give context as to the larger moves happening here.

    When working at a company if you take $100 from the register they can call the cops who will come and arrest you and take you into jail.

    If the company directs its HR department to knock $100 off your paycheck, you can't call the cops. They will laugh at you. You will need to file an employment claim and go through an entire administrative process. There's no chance anyone at the company ever sees the inside of a jail cell. At worst they pay a fine or penalty.

    They're just commodifying Justice

      the bigger issue imo is that this states that it's essentially unconstitutional for regulatory agencies to enforce regulations if there isn't an established "intelligible principle". you'll never guess who decides if a principle is "intelligible".

      On the plus side it's essentially forcing a not inconsiderable amount of the general population to understand partial differential equations, so I support this public education effort

    honestly it feels like both the SC and the fifth circuit are intentionally trying to destroy the institution and as a knock-on effect, cause some kind of violent civil conflict

    like, even liberals are going to start to realize that it's a sham built on maintaining the elite's power

      Yeah, libs will put up with basically anything as long as there are rules in place. If they come after the rules, what reason do libs have to support the system? Being the best at homework has to mean something.

    (alleged) White collar criminals get a trial by jury

    (alleged) "illegal" immigrants get a trial by cop

      I'm not disagreeing but I just had to sign a non-compete for employment that explicitly waived my right to trial by jury for breaking it 🙃

      America is not okay.

    So federal court wont have power to correct mistakes made by immigration courts?

    Isnt the whole idea having big one on top to fix any issues?

      Fixing issues like "returning my escaped slaves," not like "stopping me from poisoning aquifers."
