The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The court got it right in 1984. It should stand by that ruling.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • West Virginia v. EPA is a culmination of many years of litigation that began in 2015, under the Obama administration, when the EPA first published its Clean Power Plan¤ which would have established the first national regulatory standard to address greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The plan leveraged a key federal law, known as the Clean Air Act.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • Industry is asking the court to limit government's ability faithfully administer our laws and protect public from needless risk, siding with a few fishing boat owners.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article falsely states that David Doniger lost his case before the Supreme Court in 1984 when arguing for clean air regulations.

Supreme Court Cases Threaten Federal Agencies' Power to Enforce Laws

Broke On: Wednesday, 17 January 2024 The Supreme Court is considering two cases that could weaken the power of federal agencies to interpret and enforce laws. The first case involves Atlantic herring fishermen challenging a regulation requiring them to pay for regulatory monitors on their boats, while the second case concerns fishing fleets and business groups fighting against this rule. In both cases, conservative justices have pressed federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws passed by Congress rather than judges. If the court rules in favor of these challenges, it could lead to a reduction in executive agency power and make it harder for future presidents to defend their regulatory agendas.
