When a law is ambiguous, the court often defers to the agency in charge of administering it.

That is why we get creeping totalitarianism through bureaucratic overreach. The government was created to defend our liberty, not to destroy it. If the CJ of SCOTUS doesn't see the court's role as one of restraining the federal leviathan's encroachments on liberty then we are lost.

When a law is ambiguous the automatic action should be to strike it as unconstitutional. Let the legislature rewrite it and clearly.
