Not surprised, just disappointed. We went from the most pro consumer WH to what is shaping up to be the worst WH for consumer rights in my lifetime.

    That’s almost literally the opposite of what the judges actually said.

    They specifically called out “the use of unfair and deceptive practices”, but ruled the FTC has to follow it’s own procedures and, in this case, did not.

    Once the FTC follows it’s own processes and procedures, it can institute the same policy.

      That’s like telling cops they must follow the rule of law before they can enforce it. There would be 0 cops doing anything.

        No, that’s like telling the city government they can’t have cops arrest people for a law that hasn’t passed council.
