Supreme Court Updates
Earlier today, the Supreme Court issued a few decisions. This is a friendly reminder that there is still quite a bit to rule on, and People Power United will be there tomorrow! Follow us on Substack notes for updates.
Two more cases were kicked down the road today. OHIO v EPA (EPA’s Good Neighbor rule of trying to curtail air pollution) and the EMTALA (emergency room abortion care) case were returned to lower courts for review but did not rule out that the Supreme Court could take these cases later.
In SEC v. Jarkesy, a 6-3 Supreme Court decision significantly restricted the SEC's ability to impose fines and penalties for fraud, ruling that defendants accused of fraud by the SEC have the right to a full jury trial. Mark Joseph Stern from Slate noted that this decision undermines the enforcement capabilities of not only the SEC but also other federal agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, and Department of Labor, which lack the resources for extensive federal court trials. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissent, criticized the majority's legal errors and its failure to recognize the threat to the separation of powers, warning that this decision is a power grab by the Supreme Court that diminishes the authority of agencies protecting against lawbreakers and other harmful actors. This ruling is especially concerning as we await the outcome of the Relentless case, which will determine if Congress can delegate decision-making authority to agency experts.
See you tonight!
