Don’t worry, a judge in Texas in the pocket of some big company will shoot this down, just like the attempt to abolish non-competes

Curious why you think these nine individuals are better suited than people with actual expertise?

In the ruling in which they self-ordained these new powers, Gorsuch confused nitrous oxide with nitrogen oxide, five times. Better hope Gorsuch didn't rule on dental anesthetics on your next visit to the dentist.

Especially since one of the main arguments I have heard from folks who approve of the ruling is "but these agency people are un-elected officials!" So are Supreme Court Justices, who unlike agency people have no ethics rules.
