- From environmental regulations to pharmaceutical approvals, the Supreme Court's right-wing activist justices can be seen this term trying to usurp to itself the federal government's regulatory abilities. Dahlia Lithwick, author of "Lady Justice," and host of the Amicus podcast, and Carrie N. Baker, professor of American Studies at Smith College, talk with Alex Wagner about Supreme Court conservatives' next big target.

Question for Alito: Do you think a Judge knows more about medicine that a medical doctor??
Alito: Are FDA employees all medical doctors?
A Judge doesn't need to know anything at all about Medicine. All he needs is power to change what he doesn't like.
@@danieln.2590 are there any medical doctors within the supreme court judges?
Question to Alito: Are you a member of the FDA?
Question to lawyer: Are you a member of the FDA?
Question to sane people: Why don't you ask the FDA?
Seriously, it can't get stupider than this.
@@ireneroeder4977AND also hopefully the maturity to acknowledge that the SC's actions/rulings have long term consequences. I'm not an attorney, but I would have thrown Alito's question back at him: "Sir, of course the FDA isn't infallible/incapable of making mistakes. Why, by the Court's recent rulings and personal behaviors, are the Justices acting as if they are infallible? Impeachment and removal can be applied to Justices. You may not have been elected to your present position, but were appointed by Congressional and Presidential power.
"Do you think the FDA is infallible?"
"No, Mr. Alito. Do you imagine that judges who pretend to know more than the FDA are somehow less fallible?"
Indeed
The real question shouldn't be about infallibility.
It's about putting trust in the people or organizations that have studied the subject and have the most/best available information. No one has ever claimed infallibility. It's about reducing the risk and getting the best reasonable results.
But in reality, we know that he really isn't interested in their fallibility, or getting the best/safest results. This is purely about imposing his own version of ethics on the sinful, unwashed masses.
@@benjaminsmith6411Alito's "question" surely was the most inane, puerile strawman attempted by a Supreme Court Justice in as many years as you'd care to count. Of course the FDA isn't "infallible", and *no one* has ever made that claim.
No one. Ever.
Yes, more correctly "judges that rule on an area where they are neither qualified nor expert enough to rule is a sure recipe for failure!"
@@benjaminsmith6411"we don't think that question is really teed up *in any way* in this case." Such a kind way of saying: "You're blatantly engaging in a strawman argument, and you know it."
The Supreme Court has more authority than the FDA. Deal with it Kurt.
Every single Republican from state to supreme Court needs to be held accountable for acting on medical decisions that they are not licensed to act on.
❤
That’s exactly what we need. A decade of accountability to bury this Trumpist era. Judgement and accountability.
I am genuinely curious
as a European id like to know
Do you Merikans believe everything your govt tells you? That the FDA arent also corrupted by your evil system?
You remember the FDA has been a party to coverups over asbestos, DDT and a variety of toxins in cigarettes and foods
Look up FDA covering up toxic starch and DDT. Are americans really so blind they actually give the highest bodies in the land, like the FDA, a free pass just bc they are in charge?
Americans really can not be as stupid as we think
are they?
Im being serious
they can be impeached.😊
same should go for those trying to write laws on subjects they have zero understanding on, but rule based on 'belief' rather than facts.
The Supreme Court has no constitutional authority to ban any drug that isn't designated illegal by Congress or the FDA. Period. Their job is to interpret the laws as they are written, not to make judgments based on their own ideologies. If a drug can be proven to be a health risk, that would be another matter, but the plaintiffs have produced no evidence of that.
@blinkonceonsunday1325, The party and MAGAT's especially, including the Supreme Court are doing just that. Basing decisions on their own ideologies & ignoring the rule of law. It's wrong and it must be stopped. Since the SC is the highest entity in the Country regarding the subject, I'm not quite sure how that would be done. However, it's wrong & they shouldn't be able to get away with it. EVER.

Well they got covid virus right...ROLMFAO!!
Yes, and that's saying something considering I have only a very modest trust in the FDA!
Part of the new outfits is a mind readers hat..its the Supreme meaning there better then us..just ask Clarence give me a dollar Thomas
It is Probable that the FDA might make a mistake. However, Supreme Court Justices can be Dead Wrong !!
How'd that vacks work out for you?
The question isn't whether the FDA is infallible. It's why the judges time and again are posing as though they're better experts on these disciplines than those agencies that are full of experts.
Shouldn't have lied during covid, pushing for vaccines and hiding the side effects, pushing unconstitutional mandates, unelected beauricrats in gov agencies don't rule we the people! We elect our representatives, we have a Congress to pass laws. 😊
Asking whether the FDA is infallible is making perfect the enemy of good. "It doesn't prevent ALL death, therefore it shouldn't exist" is a favorite argument of conservatives, especially the ones that profit from death.
Thank you. I'm too angry to think clearly.
Because the FDA was created by law?
Do the justices think they are infallible?
The sheer arrogance of these people! The fascist supreme Court needs to go. Right along with Republican party and Trump.
Now we know what the Afghans are putting up with with a theocracy run by terrorist government that believes in guns, violence against those who agree with them and deg ration and control of women. These aren’t my grandfathers “Christians “.
You don't like it because it's conservative. I didn't like it when it was liberal.
The simple answer to Justice Alito 's question "Is the FDA infallible?' Is, do you think a supreme court justice is infallible? They're Hypocrisy, is Outrageous.
Their hypocrisy

The Supreme Court's approval rating of less than 10% should be a wake up call to the Justices that their days are numbered, unless they start respecting the Constitution.
"their days are numbered".... and how do you figure? You think they fear the people in any way? They don't care. They aren't scared and that's the problem.
But their days literally are NOT numbered.
They’re not worried. They are about to install Trump as dictator.
@@Ddax-td7qyYa, exactly. Lifetime appointments.
They don't care. Lifetime appointments. The fix is in, the game is rigged!
The FDA isn't infallible - and NEITHER ARE YOU, Allito. I'll take science over pinheadedness any time of the day!
...."science is true whether one believes it or not"!
Neither are you Kurt.
We can cancel the Supreme Court, they are criminals,and we don't have to listen to criminals
The modern Supreme Court is fundamentally broken. It was never intended to take on the issues that they grab at these days, and certainly not to determine the extent and breadth of the powers entrusted to Federal agencies that were created by the other two branches of government.
Our system is predicated upon the concept of checks and balances. What checks and balances are in place for the Supreme Court, which seems to be able to simply override the decisions of the other two branches of government with no way to have their own rulings countermanded. Note that the Supreme Court is staffed by individuals who are NOT directly elected and who serve for life, making them completely unaccountable to the American Public.
It's time for the court to be reformed.
I agree. Our checks and balances against the Supreme Court are extremely poor. I don't understand why it got this way, but we need to fix it fast. I say we start with 10-year term limits (10 years to ensue just enough time that a justice can be there for two presidents to offer a check on that president).
A good start would be to dilute the power of individual judges by increasing the number of judges from 9 to at least 12, as in the UK. The traditional number for a jury is at least 12 so if it works for juries why not for the Supreme Court? A better selection procedure (a non-political expert panel in the UK) would also help but that would take longer to fix whereas the numbers issue could be fixed almost overnight given the political will.
Yeah, like legalizing homosexual marriage.
@@changeamerica I didn't legalize homosexual marriage. It ruled that the laws preventing it were unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, which is a true and correct verdict.
It seems to me that the REAL question here is do we believe that the Supreme Court is qualified to make such determinations. As I understand the function of SCOTUS, it is to interpret the existing laws and insure their constitutionality. If we were to allow doctors to make policy decisions on aviation standards, or metallurgists to set standards for financial institutions both the aviation industry and our entire financial system would be in shambles in short order. SCOTUS, which is already suffering from a plethora of public skepticism, should stick to it's lane.
You know how Alito is going to vote. If it involves fascism, he's all for it.

You're scarier than Alito.
Do not engage with the kjay troll. No intelligence there, not worth it!
@@kjay5056High maternal mortality is a big turn on for you?
We don’t need this kind on judges.
What Alito knows or does not know is not relevant. It's simply not his authority as a supreme court justice to assume and abuse the authority of the FDA. What if Alito actually knew better? Should he then have the right to overrule his fellow justices who know less? Who would test that knowledge? And how do you make sure that the guy defining the test knows better than all of them?
The FDA has the authority to define what's safe. The rules governing the FDA have the responsibility to ensure that the FDA operates on a sound scientific basis. The executive has to implement these rules and oversee the FDA. The supreme court may validate if the rules comply with the principles of the constitution - and nothing else.
Precisely!.

So Alito wants us to believe Lawyers instead of Chemist and Pharmacist/Doctors about medicines?
It's about the law.
They will do whatever they can get away with to push their conservative agenda - not values, but agenda. As a whole, they have no values and do not care about the want of the people. We should also consider that part of this rogue court is the fault of the democrats who failed to appoint judges when they could. They let the Republicans overrun them. When the Republicans got tough, the Democrats went into hiding. Democrats must learn to fight fire with fire.

Agree….there should never be people influencing and bribing justices. Justices should be totally neutral and accountable to equality in all decisions that benefits everyone regardless of party affiliation.
Rich, old, white guys.
That's not happening.
There is no requirement that a judge be a lawyer, although some legal training is required. I can envisage a judge who is a scientist. There are plenty of qualified attorneys who could provide expert guidance as law clerks, but such a judge could see things at a higher level. Maybe then we could see some actual justice being done.

When people could be trusted to be honorable, this worked.
As soon as people realized they could run for government office and then benefit themselves and their business or industry, it stopped working and we had to start hiring "politicians" who had no third-party monetary associations of any kind, to avoid conflicts of interest.
The concept of lobbying and lobbyists by extension were invented to circumvent that hurdle.

@MichaelTheRead yet you want to re elect career politician biden...... hypocrite.
Justice Alito would be well advised to borrow some humility and ask himself wether he and his fellow Maga justices are infallible...
This really is so simple, even a Progressive should be able to comprehend it.
According to the Constitution, Congress makes laws. Not the President. Not judges at any level. Not bureaucrats. CONGRESS. In the case of this particular abortion drug, the legal question is whether the FDA can mandate that it be made available in all fifty states. Congress has not given the FDA this authority (and, under the so-called "Chevron deference" policy, it is questionable whether they could do so even if they so wished). If the FDA lacks this authority, then under the Tenth Amendment, it falls to the states to make their own laws regulating (or not) the drug.
That's not what this case is about at all. I mean the plaintiffs clearly dont have standing. Even if we were to indulge your question, this case can't be rigged to that end because their evidence doesn't support it. Several states have already made laws prohibiting the drug, so I'm confused why you're so condescending when you're also missing the point.
This case concerns the so-called "Chevron deference" and whether or not Congress can delegate regulation authority to bureaucrats. I see nothing in the Constitution which permits this. Of course, Congress can and should call upon experts in the various fields related to the subject of legislation, but it is up to Congress to pass regulatory legislation.
I admit to being more than a bit condescending because it is apparent that most Progressives really have no clue as to how laws are made. I get a bit tired at having to explain something so elementary over and over again.@@rhorantyko7796
This entire scenario concerns one particular thing, not medicine as a whole. Therefore, what matters is how it applies to the Constitution, and how much research Alito has done on both subjects, which none of here will ever know.
It is about minimizing the risk not about being "infallible". Dumb judges.
Correct. The FDA is not infallible, but big companies are even more fallible ánd they have just one motive: earning more money. They don’t care about protection of civilians! At least protection is the motive of the FDA.

That man has no business being ANYWHERE NEAR the Supreme Court, let alone ON the Supreme Court.
There HAS to be term limits on any and ALL branches of the government officials, such as Congress, Federal Court justices, and especially the Supreme Court. 🤔 Y is it that the PRESIDENT is term limited, but not the people who work beneath him or her?
Justices Alito and Thomas should be kicked out of the supreme court.
No but neither is he !
Alito is the worst thing that ever happened to the supreme court. He is the reason the supreme court has zero credibility now.
Really? And what about Traveling Thomas and his MAGA hag? Not worse?
Ahem! Clarence Thomas enters the room!
I would argue Thomas, but point taken.
I think Thomas is in the same boat as Alito.
it is not a boat, it's a luxury yacht. @@thelakeman5207
After what happened to trumps $175 million bond allowed. There’s no doubt I really don’t trust our government nor justice system all right??? 😢😢😢😢
You ever trusted it??????
I think that they should be arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
Sad and pathetic! You’re not scientists Supreme Court! Honestly, I’ve always had enormous respect for the court until this particular court. 😢
There needs to be a SCJ for every federal appeals court.
13 appeals courts, 13 SCJ. Simple math.
These folks are autocratic and fascist; it's past time for "guardrails" to be put in place that protect every citizen!
Cool opinion.
This Lawyer has to address Alito as your Honor, a guy who has zero honor or moral in him. A guy totally disgusting and corrupt to his core. 🤮🤮
Cool opinion. You would address him as your honor too.
AS A 40-YEAR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL I CAN TELL JUSTICE ALITO THE FDA DID NOT FOLLOW NORMAL PROTOCOL FOR DRUG APPROVAL.
Alito has never heard a FAR RIGHT argument he never wanted to approve for all of us.
No one on that court is fit to practice medicine
The FDA cannot create law.
Why aren´t these judges removed from office´? They kied under oath, took money, and,,,,,
Fascist.
The Supreme court is a joke. No country except the United States allows political parties to appoint their own judges.
The answer Alito actually wanted: "No, but I believe the Supreme Court is, your Holiness"
The Supreme Court: Fifteen Justices, for fifteen year terms. That's how we stop our judicial branch of government from being a political branch.
No drug is 100% safe. It's a numbers game between help and harm.
Agreed. If we use Ailto’s logic our institutions should not be able to regulate anyone or anything.
@@QMorrissey We would even ban peanuts!
And anyone who does maintenance in vehicles should be stopped from doing it, because they might fail and it might cause an accident.
Also, we should not allow any driver/pilot who can't prove they are infaillible to drive/pilot a vehicle.
The same goes for engineers, doctors, soldiers, cops, etc.
How can it be that nine people can decide the health and well-being of millions of people? Outrageous!
How can it be crusty, primarily old, primarily white, primarily men feel they can stick their noses in my lady bits and make decisions or restrict my options?
Actually, there are 2 cases in front of SCOTUS that could allow SCOTUS to usurp the powers of regulatory agencies.
A better response would have been: No, I don't think any institution or individual is infallible.
"When laws are made without justice, men live without freedom."
Alito: Do you think the FDA is infallible?
Ellsworth: No more than the Supreme Court.
I know what Alito said, but what I heard was "WE know better - now obey us!"
God will condemn them them all
Hello gate is open
They do not FEAR the true God. Bummer.
