I am looking forward to the BATFE being scaled back to “shall not be infringed.”
Interesting article—thanks for posting.
This “Chevron Defense” is the pretext by which so much of the Fed.gov bureaucracy has grabbed power over American’s lives.
Good. Just goes to show that the Supreme Court has way too often ruled wrong in far too many important cases.
Anything involving judges scares the hell out of me these days the way they’re acting lately.
I am looking forward to SCOTUS acknowledging that “shall not be infringed” is right there in the 2A and it means something.
Would SCOTUS nullify agency powers, or merely allow congress to do so? Doesn’t congress already have the power (provided POTUS signs the bills)? If congress had to act, what about filibusters?
Per the current crop of DC criminals, demonstrably they pay no attention to the US Constitution nor do they abide by any SCOTUS ruling that gets in their way. This country is no longer a country of laws, it’s become a country of the lawless.
The author is correct, Chevron allows capricious rule making that changes with nearly ever administration. It is just no way to run a railroad or a country. Consistency, or something like it, is necessary for prosperity.
One can only hope.
Roberts hates Chevron.
Excellent article.
Detailed, thorough, logical, rational.
Thank you for posting this.
I think a real, positive outcome would be that agency rule-making-with-the-power-of-statute would be prohibited if a DIRECT, relevant and substantive existing statute reference cannot be shown. And, in such cases the proposed rules should have to be suspended until Congress can act if they so choose.
Nowhere in the myriad of government administrative rule making is more egregious than the BATFE’s abuse of referencing the 1934 NFA. It should be disestablished, IMO.
Would love to see a 9-0 ruling on this...
Just think, Trump has a good chance of appointing maybe as many as 3 SC justices if he’s president again.
And the rats will be super motivated to torpedo Trump. I can just see the gears turning in their heads: “Thomas and Alito will have to step down....”
I believe the SCOTUS has already dealt a death blow to the EPA’s interpretation of the waters of the USA. If a body of water cannot reasonably be used for commerce, it’s not subject to federal regulations. Same with artificial lakes and ponds.
Will more likely be 6-3 based on the oral arguments I heard.
Oh yeah, like a Supreme Court ruling will stop this government……
