One day the headline will actually explain something instead of being a vague proclamation of doom
Yeah, wouldn't that be great?
Ugh. I hate yellow journalism.
One of the cases involving "more of our rights being targeted" is this one:
...That's October 3rd of this year, based on what I'm reading...
...so, like, two days ago. I'll have to go see if anything has come of it yet a bit later on.
So...this one is going to be the supreme court saying banks, lenders for student loans, and the for-profit shitholes that prey on the poor known as payday lenders can do whatever they want so long as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and no federal regulatory board or agency should be (edit for clarity -- ) able to stop them, in this case due to lack of funding if this passes.
Just your typical "deregulate everything because all regulations that are bad for us rich folks are 'government over-reach', obvs" claptrap.
Then there's:
and let's not forget:
There's a whole bunch more reeaaallly interesting information in the article about who benefits from which cases and why a bunch of the supreme court justices should be recusing themselves from these things.
Good find, OP.
(edit again -- All in all an EXCELLENT article. Very well written, informative, and engaging. I'm just not a fan of the headline. Not sure I could do better though, so my apologies to the journalist who wrote it for critiquing a vague headline with a vague stance.)
Generally how the Supreme Court operates is they hear a bunch of cases throughout their term and then give verdicts at the end.
That explains why I wasn't able to find the verdict. Thank you for this explanation!
Why would it? The point of a headline is to get you to read the article. If it explained it will enough, you wouldn't need to read the rest.
Also, it would be WAY too long for a headline.
