More shit from the 6 clowns. For decades federal agencies have been able to handle their own business, levy fines, etc.

But no more. If an agency rules against a business, they can sue. This will bog down regulatory agencies severely. It will also give massive power to the judiciary. So regs about food, water, many many safety issues will fall to judges with no experience on the issue. 

This is very BIG. It really puts tons on power in the judiciary and moves it away from Congress, etc. This is conservative/business candy. 

Watch the EPA, OSHA, USDA and many other agencies go down the tubes. Time to stock up  on bottled water and safe food. And find a job that doesn't have any risks attached.

So I understand it, this ruling stems from a case in which a federal agency interpreted a Congressional law as giving it the power to require that fishermen harbor (see what I did there?) inspectors on their boats and at their expense? On its face there seems to be valid 3rd and 4th Amendment concerns, yes?

DF, your use of 3A is a bit of a stretch; but creative. Not sure about   4A. But SCOTUS didn't use either of these to make its ruling. It has decided that agencies can't enforce regulations. So now any complaint about regs will end up in court, to be decided by those who know NADA about the issues. It will also massively bog down the court system. Worse yet, this overturns policy that is DECADES old. It will affect safely inspections by any/all agencies; OSHA, USDA, FDA, etc, etc. Time to grow your own food.

I think the basic failure here is how Congress has ceded authority to make rules to the various agencies which have the effect of law with all the usual  consequences for breaking them as if they were real laws.

BK, it's been that way for decades. If that is undone, then thousands of cases can be brought against regulatory agencies. And each case will end up in the Supreme Court. So you'll have whatever nine Justices are on the bench deciding things like meat safety, drug safely,  truck safety, work place safety, etc, etc. Most likely these nine will have minimal expertise about the matter before them. A good example is their bump stock ruling. In their writings it was clear that they collectively didn't have a fucking clue what was being discussed. They ruled along ideological lines. That went along with Republican/NRA/2A notions. But TODAY, machine guns are NOT legal; and by the definition in the law, a bump stock makes a gun an automatic weapon. Of course they didn't rule that way; but that wasn't good jurisprudence. It was adherence to those that bought them their office.
