    Lmao they had so many chances to codify everything and never did. They’ll just throw it as yet another carrot on the stick and use it for election propaganda. “Vote for us if you want us to codify that” and then after elected they’ll just act like it never happened.

      Tbf, they probably didn’t anticipate the courts overturning decades of precedent when they last had a filibuster proof supermajority 12 years ago (I don’t think any of us saw this getting so, so bad back then), so this is a bit of a stretch

        They weren’t paying attention. The conservative legal sphere had been dreaming of ending Chevron deference for a long time, and the conservative SCOTUS justices have been signaling it as well.
