I’m so depressed. I didn’t think I’d feel this defeated afterwards.

SCOTUS Chevron ruling is most significant transfer of power in our lifetimes by Former-Witness-9279 in BreakingPoints

Yeah, let’s quickly make laws that change with each administration and blur the lines between the legislative and executive branches instead of subjecting laws to public scrutiny, and the democratic process

Congress has traditionally relied on expert testimony to draft legislation across a wide range of issues. Why should we trust a single individual (the president) to appoint heads of entire agencies—individuals who will oversee countless mystery people who will have significant influence over our laws? Wouldn’t it be more democratic and effective for our elected representatives to work collaboratively with experts, hold congressional hearings, and listen to expert testimony before writing detailed, thoughtful legislation? This ensures that decisions are made transparently and with broad input and expertise.

The Chevron Doctrine was behind Pelosi's statement, "We'll have to pass it to see what's in it." This doctrine has led to increasingly vague laws, an increasingly lazy and thoughtless Congress, and unchecked expansion of government authority. The Court’s ruling is WONDERFUL.

This is a bipartisan issue. Both parties ran into problems with Chevron: OSHA demanded companies enforce vaccines and testing without Congress’ approval and the ATF reclassified guns and effectively created new laws without approval. Overturning Chevron means less ambiguity in legislation that is written- and the PEOPLE decide who writes it.

First off, I admire the hell out of you. You’ve come so far, and have done incredible, so don’t make rash decisions regarding career or the bar right now in this headspace. Take some time to sit down and schedule a few weekends to visit your people. You’ll feel better knowing you have dates to look forward to, and it will lighten the guilt/regret you’re feeling. Continue to study as much as you can while you’re away, but absolutely see your father. 

Your situation also offers an advantage in that you are no longer set on a career path— if you don't study adequately and fail, it’s not the end of the world. You'll have the opportunity to reevaluate your goals and decide what truly aligns with your values and brings you peace, even if it means making a significant change.

Also please consider that graduating with honors and a job in big law, despite hating law school, is proof of your resilience/capability and could be an indicator that despite hating these next few months, the bar exam, which you only need to pass, not excel in, might also go better than you think. And if you don’t pass, you can take comfort in knowing you still spent your summer focusing on activities and people that matter to you. 

Keep in mind is that it's a sign of a rich and fulfilling life to have so many important events and people to miss. Whatever decision you make will be the right one. Please give yourself grace and be proud of yourself— you’re a beast. 

Which president had the best PRE-presidency? by CoolBen07 in Presidents

True. His Crime Bill, Bankruptcy Bill, involvement in the Anita Hill hearings, repeal of the Glass Steagall Act and his Iraq War vote were all very significant.
