Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for July 25, 2024

Wow! No holds barred!

The magat Supreme Court also authorized political payoffs.

Because originalists.

Prepare for crappy drugs and faulty medical devices. No consequences for the maker, only the patient.

Wow! This one’s spot on.

Same as it ever was. Move on, nothing to see here.

Do you mean they would hurl the current justices into Boston Harbor?

It’s like Gene bugged a corporate CEO’s office.

And all is rosy in MAGA-PITA-Ville…

Ok, all the Chevron doctrine meant was that courts should defer to regulatory agencies’ interpretations of laws, since neither justices nor lawmakers have the expertise to decide on every issue, and for that reason laws are deliberately left with some vagueness. Now the court has rejected the Chevron doctrine and said that it is the only body authorized to interpret laws and any regulation that is challenged will be thrown out unless it conforms to the court’s interpretation.

My point is, all those laws still apply as well as any regulations until they are actually changed. I get that Barney is just a jerk who doesn’t know/care how things actually work, but I just like the sound of my own voice. Or typing.

I thought comics were supposed to be funny. This one is too painful.

myself and Gene Dave and David are not quite in agreement

He’s right. Dang it.

Is there a punchline today?

Democracy alive and well in the US empire.
