The Salt Lake Tribune is throwing a fit over the U.S. Supreme Court stripping the ungodly regulatory power of unelected bureaucrats while picking a fight with Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) for daring to support the move.
“Utah politicians are wrong to say the end of Chevron is a boost for liberty,” The Tribune editorial board complained in a whiny July 7 screed targeting Lee and other Utah Republicans who celebrated the Court’s ruling. Under the so-called “Chevron Doctrine,” deference was given to federal agencies' subjective interpretations of ambiguous laws to enforce burdensome regulations on American businesses, which was upended by the Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2023).
The Tribune was livid and took a swipe at Lee by likening him to a notorious Star Wars villain: “Sen. Mike Lee chortled that, without Chevron allowing regulators to make decisions, ‘It’s time for Congress to re-learn how to make real laws.’ That is, to make laws that say what the rules are and aren’t left open to bureaucratic interpretation. That’s rich coming from a guy whose entire obstructive legislative career was so well summed up by Star Wars villain Darth Sidious: ‘I have the Senate bogged down in procedure.’”
Has anyone ever thought of Sidious as being gung-ho about stripping power away from dictatorial-like federal agencies? Perhaps The Tribune forgot to watch The Empire Strikes Back. Lee clapped back at The Tribune for mixing up its Star Wars metaphors in an exclusive interview with MRC Business.

We should be stripping government regulations by the boatload, why isn’t it happening yet?
Try reasoning with a liberal on the reversal of Chevron.
They will talk about “democracy” endlessly, then when you bring up the Chevron decision they will tell you that regulators are “experts” and Congress can’t understand enough to pass laws regulating various aspects of our lives and economy.
When you point out that their views are contradictory they simply refuse to acknowledge it.
It should work like that but we know it doesn’t. Sadly. Every whimsical rule and reg should have been suspended at the very least, immediately.
The domination of deluded leftists in all media seems unbreakable.
The Chevron ruling slipped out underneath the noise of the Trump immunity ruling, but it may well be one of the most impactful decisions in US history.
Basically any regulation not created through Congress is exposed to challenge.
That is the ruling that is the big story. The media is too stupid and shortsighted to see it.
The SL Tribune is the leftist (originally anti-LDS) paper in Utah, compared to the LDS owned Deseret News.
You get more diversity of opinion in the Desert News than you will ever get from the lunatic TDS dominated SL Trib.
Salt Lake Tribune = bird cage lining
It’s all because of guys like Klaus Schwab and Schwartz Gyorgy.
How can ending the regulatory power of sever unelected bureaus or agencies not be wonderful for liberty? With an unelected bureau in charge of the media, how can they not be excited with its inability to regulate them?
They could start with LOW FLOW TOILETS
Then fuel economy standards
what next?
Gay marriage was also a ‘law’ not enacted by congress, but by judicial fiat- a regulation outlawing gay marriage in Texas was ruled ‘unconstitutional’ so the opposite must be true. (a tactic I call ‘repeal to a third position’)

If I understand this Salt Lake Tribune issue correctly, the institutionally indoctrinated (imo) Supreme Court actually didn't go far enough with reversing Chevron Doctrine imo.
“Never confuse Motion with Action [especially in an election year].” ―Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Respectfully to Utah FReepers, do Utah citizen voters not understand the following? Probably most federal social spending these days is based on state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues (citizens' wallets), that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress now regularly steals from the states by means of unconstitutional, unaccountable taxing and spending facilitated by Congress's abuse of its repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) imo?
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by [reasonably constitutionally justifiable] Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Corrupt Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are an enemy of the people. This is why Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with new, Constitution-respecting state and federal lawmakers and executives in November, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, the new Congress also supporting him to quickly finish draining the swamp, including surrendering state powers that feds have been stealing from the states back to the states.
SLC unfortunately is filled with the typical corrosive lib BS.
