Its advocacy is credited with helping stamp out Republican Party support for combating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>, once an issue that drew bipartisan concern. The “full weight of the network” was thrown behind passing the 2017 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpTaxCut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTaxCut</span></a>, securing a windfall for the Kochs and their donors. And the upcoming Supreme Court term could bring the network a victory it has pursued for years: overturning a major legal precedent known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chevron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chevron</span></a>.</p><p>"While most Americans aren’t familiar with the 1984 case Chevron v. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NRDC</span></a>, it’s one of the Supreme Court’s most-cited decisions. Legal scholars sometimes mention it in the same breath as Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade. In essence, Chevron is about government agencies’ ability to issue regulations. After a law is enacted, it’s generally up to agencies across the government to make detailed rules putting it into effect. The Chevron decision said courts should be hesitant to second-guess the agencies’ determinations. In the years that followed, judges cited Chevron in upholding rules that protect endangered species, speed up the approval process for new cellphone towers and grant benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung.</p><p>"The Koch network has challenged Chevron in the courts and its lobbyists have pushed Congress to pass a law nullifying the decision. It has also provided millions of dollars in grants to law professors making the case to overturn it.</p><p>"The network’s position has become increasingly popular in recent years. Once broadly supported by academics and judges on the right, Chevron is now anathema to many in the conservative legal movement. And there’s no more prominent convert than Thomas.</p><p>"In 2005, Thomas wrote the majority opinion in a case that expanded Chevron’s protections for government agencies. Ten years later, he was openly questioning the doctrine. Then in 2020, Thomas renounced his own earlier decision, writing that he’d determined the doctrine is unconstitutional after all — a rare reversal for a justice with a reputation for being unmovable in his views.</p><p>"By last year, Koch network strategists sensed that victory could be at hand. During an internal briefing for network staff, Jorge Lima, a senior vice president at Americans for Prosperity, said the Supreme Court seemed primed to radically change its approach to the issue. The network was trying to find cases that could bring about major changes in the law, according to a video of the meeting obtained by the watchdog group Documented. “We’re doubling down on this strategy,” Lima told the crowd.</p><p>"Several months later, the Supreme Court announced it would take up a case, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, in which Koch network staff attorneys represent the plaintiffs. If Thomas and his colleagues side with them this coming term, Chevron will be overturned once and for all." </p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-secretly-attended-koch-brothers-donor-events-scotus" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">propublica.org/article/clarenc</span><span class="invisible">e-thomas-secretly-attended-koch-brothers-donor-events-scotus</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OligarchCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OligarchCamp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BohemianGrove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BohemianGrove</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachClarenceThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachClarenceThomas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chevron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chevron</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChevronDoctrine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChevronDoctrine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NDRC</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KochIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KochIndustries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorruptSCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorruptSCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUSIsCompromised" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUSIsCompromised</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corporatocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corporatocracy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oiligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oiligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalProtections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalProtections</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporatePolluters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporatePolluters</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeritageFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HeritageFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateDeniers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDeniers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirIsLife</span></a></p>

Maybe.</p><p>"Four Supreme Court justices supplemented their income with payments from their book deals, three accepted money for teaching, and only two accepted any reportable gifts in 2023, according to financial disclosures released Friday. Justice Alito was the only sitting justice to request an extension.</p><p>"These disclosures are the first to be released since the Court announced its adoption of a Code of Conduct (Nov. 2023) and the first since the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation from ProPublica was published (Apr. 2023&ff). Given the wide array of data in the reports, it’s difficult to ascertain whether recent ethics scandals have changed the justices’ behavior. In fact, there are some conflicting signs.</p><p>"According to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClarenceThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClarenceThomas</span></a>’ disclosure, he did not accept any gifts of private plane travel or resort stays from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HarlanCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarlanCrow</span></a> or any of his other prior benefactors in 2023. The only gift he accepted was $2,000 in 'photo albums' from the outgoing executive director of the Horatio Alger Association, Terry Giroux, and Giroux’s wife, Barbara. (Justice Jackson’s gifts are noted later in the release.)</p><p>"What’s more, Thomas wrote at the end of his report that his 2019 FDR “is hereby amended to include the following entries under the reimbursement section, which was inadvertently omitted at the time of filing,” and he lists a one-night stay at a hotel, with free food, in Bali and a four-day, three-night stay at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BohemianGrove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BohemianGrove</span></a> (though he doesn’t write “Bohemian Grove”).</p><p>"On the one hand, amendments like these show growth and are appreciated. On the other hand, ProPublica reported that Thomas flew to Indonesia on a private plane for his summer jaunt, and from this omission in the appendix, it appears that either Thomas made another error or he believes neither travel on a private plane owned by a friend (though it’s really owned by his friend’s company, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HRZNARLLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HRZNARLLC</span></a>) nor overnight stays on a yacht owned by a friend (really Crow Holdings, LLC) to be reportable."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://fixthecourt.com/2024/06/new-scotus-disclosures-show-2023-was-a-good-year-for-several-justice-authors-bank-accounts/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fixthecourt.com/2024/06/new-sc</span><span class="invisible">otus-disclosures-show-2023-was-a-good-year-for-several-justice-authors-bank-accounts/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OligarchCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OligarchCamp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUSIsCompromised" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUSIsCompromised</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachJusticeThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachJusticeThomas</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScotusIsCorrupt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScotusIsCorrupt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachClarenceThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachClarenceThomas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>From <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>: Internment of Japanese Americans</p><p>"During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WRA</span></a>), mostly in the western interior of the country. About two-thirds were U.S. citizens. </p><p>"These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following the outbreak of war with the Empire of Japan in December 1941. About 127,000 Japanese Americans then lived in the continental U.S., of which about 112,000 lived on the West Coast. About 80,000 were Nisei ('second generation'; American-born Japanese with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USCitizenship</span></a>) and Sansei ('third generation', the children of Nisei). The rest were Issei ('first generation') immigrants born in Japan, who were ineligible for citizenship. In Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised more than one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Internment</span></a> was intended to mitigate a security risk which Japanese Americans were believed to pose. The scale of the incarceration in proportion to the size of the Japanese American population far surpassed similar measures undertaken against German and Italian Americans who numbered in the millions and of whom some thousands were interned, most of these non-citizens. Following the executive order, the entire West Coast was designated a military exclusion area, and all Japanese Americans living there were taken to assembly centers before being sent to concentration camps in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Arkansas. Similar actions were taken against individuals of Japanese descent in Canada. Internees were prohibited from taking more than they could carry into the camps, and many were forced to sell some or all of their property, including their homes and businesses. At the camps, which were surrounded by barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards, internees often lived in overcrowded barracks with minimal furnishing."</p><p>[...]</p><p>Prior use of internment camps in the United States</p><p>"The United States Government had previously employed civilian internment policies in a variety of circumstances.

The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations. <br>In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a>, known for human rights abuses.</p><p>"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>habeas</span></a> petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained. </p><p>"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a>, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented.
