    A bunch of people on Lemmy were defending this decision after it came out, suggesting that the courts were the best place to litigate things like corporations causing massive environmental damage rather than the EPA doing it because you couldn’t trust the EPA under a conservative administration to act fairly.

    And then maybe a week later, SCOTUS said presidents could commit crimes if it was part of an official act.

    I stopped seeing defenses of SCOTS’ decision on Loper Bright after that.
