ACTION 2: TODAY Supreme Court Round Table 8/22
In its next term, the Supreme Court will hear a series of four cases that seek to weaken the administrative agencies that enforce countless critically important federal laws, including laws that ensure our food, medicine, and cars are safe, laws that protect our air and water from pollution, and laws that protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in the financial markets.
Join Just Majority on Tuesday, August 22 at 1PM CT for a virtual conversation with experts from Public Justice, Student Borrower Protection Center, League of Conservation Voters, and American Constitution Society to discuss the history of this attack on the administrative state, what this term’s cases could mean for its future, and how the Court’s decisions could make it nearly impossible for Congress to address such crucial issues as climate change, immigration, and health care.
