I think this is bad in the short term, but good in the long run. The ruling doesn’t stop the FTC from going through the process again for the Click-to-Cancel rule. They just have to follow the correct procedures. In this case they underestimated the annual economic effect that their rule would have, and at a certain threshold they are required to have a preliminary regulatory analysis for a rule.
The administration can weaponize the FTC if they really want to, so the courts ruling that the FTC has to follow the correct procedures helps to at least keep some things in check.
Oh I’m not pretending that at all and I don’t see how I implied that in any way. What I’m trying point out is that you’ll have precedence on your side when going to court if the FTC does the same thing for a Republican measure.
What do you mean by “people like you?”
I’m not against the click-to-cancel rule, we definitely need something like that.
The court ruling wasn’t on the economic effect of the click-to-cancel rule. The ruling was that the FTC skipped their own requirements to make this rule.
