Today's first #SCOTUS opinion: Corner Post Inc. v Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. A 6-3 decision.
The court holds that a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act to challenge an agency action first comes into being when the plaintiff is injured by final agency action.
Justice Jackson dissented, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.
First case is Corner Post v. Federal Reserve. 6-3. Party lines. Barrett opinion, Jackson dissenting.
Republican justices say that people can challenge administrative regulations, essentially whenever they want, statute of limitations be damned.
It's another attack on the regulatory and administrative state but, after Chevron last week, I'm hard pressed to care. Only Harlan Crow is allowed to write regulations now anyway.

I am going to have a serious conversation with spouse. I left one country already because there everyone stopped caring. Perhaps it is time for the second.
@alexproe@GottaLaff I know someone whose birthday was utterly ruined by that decision because he knows too much about the law and government. Only the ignorant or the willingly misled don't see this.
The other thing this case does is prove Roberts was lying Friday when he said the THOUSANDS of cases ruled under Chevron were still "good law."
They're not, really, because anybody can sue, years after the fact, and get the court to reconsider.
It's more of a companion to Chevron. Like "Courts get to make all the rules... and people can sue whenever they want to get courts to change the rules."
Justice Jackson in her dissent: "At the end of a momentous Term, this much is clear: The tsunami of lawsuits against agencies that the Court's holdings in this case and Loper Bright have authorized has the potential to devastate the functioning of the Federal Government."
@GottaLaff This is all about throwing shit at regulatory agencies so they are too overwhelmed to perform their primary functions, which will degrade public services and further degrade people’s opinion and level of trust in the government.
@GottaLaff
It is overwhelming. I can't imagine how Americans must be feeling but as your Northern Neighbour I am stunned, sort of feeling numbed with shock and also sadness .
However, all is not lost, right?
There is an election to win!
Time to put aside the sad feelings and get people up and moving towards a win for democracy!🌊
@tc_morekindness@GottaLaff
I understand why you feel low.
When everything is overwhelming, I allow myself to wallow in it for a few hours and then force myself to pick up the pieces and move on to finding a solution.
Please do not allow yourself to remain too long in a state of despair because the is what the GOP wants to happen. A depressed population is easily manipulated.
SCOTUS just ruled that plaintiffs can challenge the actions of federal agencies long after those actions have been finalized.
This was the goal of conservative groups — including the Koch network and the Chamber of Commerce — to further upend the administrative state.
Justice Jackson: "The tsunami of lawsuits against agencies that the Court's holdings in this case and Loper Bright have authorized has the potential to devastate the functioning of the Federal Government."
@GottaLaff If Congress was really doing their jobs they would declare this SCOTUS as corrupt and illegitimate and throw out their rulings as fruit of the poison vine before expanding the court to 13 justices.
