    So special attorneys, which have been used by pretty much every administration and every congress since the position was created, are not valid now?

    Yep. Good luck to the Trump administration trying to enforce anything between this an Chevron.

      That presumes the law means anything to them.

      As this ruling shows, law means nothing to the Republican party.

        I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.

          We should all arm ourselves now. Every single bit of this is unprecedented, in the worst possible way. Better to be safe than staring down the barrel of a Luger.

            Counterpoint: if you are staring down the barrel of a Luger, I would suggest NOT doing what they tell you to do.

            The Nazis had a habit of forcing someone at gunpoint to do something worse than getting shot. Like telling you to bite the curb, or kill your friend, then they shoot you.
