Washington, D.C. — Today, Andrew O’Neill, Indivisible’s Legislative Director, released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overrule the Chevron doctrine in Relentless Inc v. Department of Commerce:
“Other than the fancy building and the black robes, the majority on the Roberts court hardly even feigns at being serious, respectable jurists. Instead, they appoint themselves as an unelected MAGA super-legislature protecting the interests of Republican billionaires and big corporations at our expense. They’ve given themselves the power to make policy decisions that supersede the experts at federal agencies and the elected members of Congress, and there’s no doubt that they’ll wield that power to roll back our rights even further.
“We cannot allow this power grab to go unchecked. Congress must uphold our Constitution and fight back by instituting structural reforms – including expanding the court – to unrig the court and rein in the MAGA supermajority. It would be naive to believe this SCOTUS will stop unless they are stopped. The only question is if Congress will intervene before even more harm is done to our communities.”
