The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday kicks off a new nine-month term featuring major cases ranging from the right of domestic abusers to have guns to the fate of the federal consumer finance watchdog agency, giving its muscular conservative majority fresh opportunities to reshape American law.
"This is the court conservatives have wanted for decades - and it is not disappointing them," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California Berkeley Law School.
U.S. conservatives long have sought to dismantle what they criticize as the "administrative state," the federal bureaucracy whose technical expertise is distilled into a panoply of rules and regulations affecting businesses and individuals. The conservative justices have given succor to this effort and will get a chance to do so again in at least three cases including the CFPB one to be argued next Tuesday.
"I expect the court will continue to look skeptically at ways in which administrative agencies are operating in tension with the separation of powers envisioned by the Constitution," said Martinez, referring to the authority divided among the U.S. government's executive, legislative and judicial branches.
