Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

The article is Greek to me. Can someone break down the basics of what’s going on?

  • Agencies employ ALJs, or "Administrative Law Judges", who specialize in regulations, and hear and oversee certain cases related to enforcement actions.
  • Some agencies have "removal protection" rules for employees like ALJs, that prevent e.g. the President from axing those employees (to prevent agencies having to get a new raft of judges every 4-8 years).
  • SCOTUS recently ruled those protections are unconstitutional, in SEC vs Jarkesy
  • SpaceX is arguing that because the NLRB has similar removal protection rules for its ALJs and some other members, it cannot bring enforcement actions against SpaceX
  • the district court agreed, and put an injunction on the NLRB from bringing a pending Unfair Labor Practice charge against SpaceX

Excellent breakdown, thanks.
