W. Virginia v EPA (2022): Admin courts are unconstitutional, all Article II agencies must use Article III judiciary to enforce laws (applies to IRS, reinforced by SEC v Jarkesy)
[stripping of enforcement mechanism for ~95% of Fed gov’t]
Chevron Doctrine overturned (6-28-24): Article II “rules and regulations” are NOT Laws, but are now “UNOFFICIAL ACTS”
[stripping of authority for ~95% Fed gov’t]
Trump Immunity Decision (7-1-24): Executive branch has zero immunity for “UNOFFICIAL ACTS”, and individuals may be prosecuted personally for civil and criminal fraud when performing “UNOFFICIAL ACTS” while working in official capacity.
[stripping of immunity for ~95% of Fed gov’t]
BIG TAKEAWAY:If you are currently a Federal employee and you attempt to enforce ANY non LAW, you are probably going to prison, but expect to be sued for Civil Fraud at a minimum and pay out-of-pocket 3x actual and 200x punitive damages (statutory fraud penalties).
Note that fraud has no statute of limitations so we will be very busy for the next 20 years suing 2024 Federal workers (post 6-28-24 acts) into financial oblivion and putting them in prison (Looking at you new, armed IRS agents).
