Yea, this is huge. I love how the two people that voted against it are saying nooooo we should just leave it to congress. Nothing like this would ever happen if they did, so I’m glad the other 3 are getting things done.
If the courts are going to determine the FTC hasn’t actually been granted the authority to do this (idk if they actually will, just speculating), then it doesn’t get done and the act could rather amount to wasteful political grandstanding. So I think at least the question of whether they can do this legally is important.
The commission’s two dissenting members argued that the agency was stepping beyond its authority in issuing the ban, saying such powers should be left with the Congress.
Was there a different article you had read where they said SCOTUS?

No, I guess I just got them mixed up. I’m going back to edit it now!
