     Less than a day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination, the Republican Jewish Coalition launched a series of tweets calling Harris “a total disaster for Israel” and “disgraceful,” falsely accusing her of refusing to condemn a Hamas supporter during a speaking engagement at a college.

       “The VP has been a staunch ally to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. She’s committed to Israel’s security, pointed a bright light on the crimes of sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th and continues to work towards a deal to secure a release of the hostages,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) told Jewish Insider. “I have every confidence that she, along with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, will continue those efforts, and maintain the historic work of President Biden to enact a first-ever National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.”

       But on June 28, a sweeping majority opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts ignored judicial precedent to hold that only the courts would decide regulation. In the SCOTUS majority view, judges alone would now decide highly specialized rules crafted to maintain reliable consumer safety standards governing our food, public health, occupational safety, clean water, higher education and more, bypassing the high-level expertise of civil servants in affected agencies.
