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.

              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
