A federal court in Texas has thrown out the government
It was only a matter of time.

A federal court in Texas has thrown out the government  ban on noncompete agreements that was set to take effect September 4.

In her ruling, Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas wrote that the federal agency had overstepped its power when it approved the ban.

The FTC lacks substantive rulemaking authority with respect to unfair methods of competition. The role of an administrative agency is to do as told by Congress, not to do what the agency think s  it should do.
I note you did not post the ruling from PA that upheld the rule.
Then you know how this will end.
No, I do not. But I do know when the SCOTUS threw out Chevron they opened the door for judges to bring in their own political biases rather then rely upon expertise.

Judges are trained to interpret laws vis a vis the Constitution. Bureaucrats follow the dictates of the politicians. Since neither are elected the odds favor the expertise of judges over political appointees.

The politicians the beauty rats respond to are elected. Federal judges are not answerable. And lack the technical expertise that is often necessary to determine what regulations mean in practice.

To me, why do you think judges in PA and TX.came.to diametrically opposite conclusions?

So far the only disappointing thing about the DNC for me is that for Arizona's vote they went with Stevie Nicks instead of something from the Meat Puppets, like Enchanted Pork Fist, or even Backwater or Lake of Fire.

Landslide?  A little too on the nose if so.
Edge of 17.
I have to say, though that the song has always mystified me, especially the line about the one winged dove. How does a one winged dove even fly? It is not a matter of the one wing making it fly 8n a circle, aerodynamically speaking it should not even get off the ground. Is that the point? A dove that cannot even do the single basic fact of doneness? But is so, why is the only attribute discussed in the song singing? Seems like that dove needs to be running, especially in Arizona, what with coyotes and what have you trying to eat it. It just seemsike nonsense.

First, it is not a Constitutional matter. It is a question of whether the administrative body has acted within the statutory mandate. The Constitutional issue is a truism, since the administration is claiming it acted within the mandate and not without one. But this is a distinction I know in the past has escaped your understanding. Second, the factual issues are issues relating to the proper interpretation of the statutory language.

Your argument is without merit. Judges are, by training, experts on interpreting law and, at the federal level, need to be confirmed by the Senate.

Moreover their reasoning in written opinions are frequently scrutinized by legal scholars and the press.
It is harder for judges to become unduly influenced than it is for the other two branches, which make decisions behind closed doors often with little public oversight.
And bureaucrats change when Administrations change. Federal Judges do not.

I have to say, though that the song has always mystified me, especially the line about the one winged dove. How does a one winged dove even fly? It is not a matter of the one wing making it fly in a circle, aerodynamically speaking it should not even get off the ground. Is that the point?

Seems like that dove needs to be running, especially in Arizona, what with coyotes and what have you trying to eat it. It just seemsike nonsense.

😂

(assuming you know the lyric is white winged dove)

(then again, Stevie is not known for her great diction)

(If I start thinking back on hauntingly familiar Stevie Nicks song, I will have more fodder for the mondegreen thread...)

A Senate whose members set aside their other business and partisan concerns and diligently scrutinize each judicial nomination for their qualifications to serve, based upon objective criteria of competence and impartiality!

And bureaucrats change when Administrations change. Federal Judges do not.

Most employees in the federal Civil Service work through multiple administrations.  In this way, they develop technical expertise which appointees lack and judges never have.

Interestingly Edge of 17 sprung from Nicks mishearing Tom Petty's then wife who told her she and Petty met at the age of 17. An accent was involved.
