Pretty much looks that way. It'll take months, if not years, Another ruling sure to throw things in a cocked hat, well, forever:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court opened the door Monday to new, broad challenges to regulations long after they take effect, the third blow in a week to federal agencies.
The justices ruled 6-3 in favor of a truck stop in North Dakota that wants to sue over a regulation on debit card swipe fees that the federal appeals court in Washington upheld 10 years ago.
Federal law sets a six-year deadline for broad challenges to regulations. In this case, the regulation from the Federal Reserve governing the fees merchants must pay banks whenever customers use a debit card took effect in 2011.
The deadline for lawsuits over the regulation was in 2017, the Biden administration argued. A federal appeals court agreed that Corner Post, a truck stop in Watford City in western North Dakota, mounted its challenge too late, even though it didn’t open its doors until 2018. https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-regulatio...So even if there’s a sunset law for filing a claim it’s now meaningless. All you need do is open a “new business”, and you can challenge any regulation you like, no matter how old, no matter how long standing. I see a lot of work for lawyers, and the USSC’s drive to eliminate as much regulation as they can, no matter the problems that may create.
