How to Use Consent Decrees for Fun and Profit

Revolver-

Even though Democrats hold the presidency and both houses of Congress, conservative-leaning judges have given patriotic Americas huge victories on vaccine mandates, gun rights, EPA overreach, abortion, and a lot more. The wins, particularly at the Supreme Court, have established America’s judicial branch as the best branch of government for winning durable conservative victories.

But patriots and conservatives aren’t the only ones who have been able to use the courts to their advantage. And in fact, over the past decade, there is one judicial tactic where the left’s ability and success far exceeds that of the right: The strategic use of judicial consent decrees. But if the right can learn to master this tactic as well, they can win even more victories through the courts than before.

Judicial consent decrees are a means of settling criminal or civil court cases. Essentially, the two sides of a case agree to resolve it without a finding of guilt or liability, and instead negotiate a legally-binding agreement that is then approved by a judge.

When the two sides of a court case are actual adversaries, a consent decree makes sense. But when both sides of a lawsuit are actually on the same side, consent decrees become very different: They become a means of writing new laws without a single vote, and plundering the public treasury in the meantime. more here

  1. It never ceases to amaze, the fed govt and faceless “non-profits”, and NGOs play fast n loose with the judiciary posing as a “neutral” referee.

    Of course “we” citizens, who foot the bill and/or are personally effected by said administrative regs., can never be allowed to challenge, b’cause “lack of standing”.

    Works in Biden’s DOJ as well. Merrick announced last week 4 cops in KY associated w Breonna Taylor have been arrested and will be tried by “his” DOJ.
    No matter this was settled by a Grand Jury in KY and the State Attorney who chose to file no charges.
