Even though progress can feel inevitable, the best laws and regulations are never really permanent; they require maintenance from every generation […] And it’s still worth fighting for.
It’s more a joke. At this point ISPs really should be designated a telecom.
But, if Chevron Deference is the reason it’s on hold, that’s not likely to chance until either the legislature passes something to say otherwise, or the supreme court swings the other way/toward normalcy. Which, if Harris wins this election and next election, there is a reasonable chance at. Other than their bitterness, some of the oldest and worst on the supreme court are just hanging on until a conservative takes the executive branch again.
Before Trump every Supreme Court Justice was approved by over 60% of the senate (except Alito and Thomas). After Trump took office, most are close almost 50/50’s. None of them manage to reach 60% anymore. Goes to show how controversial Alito and Thomas were BEFORE things became hyper partisan.
