"SHOCKER: SCOTUS Delivers a Kill Shot to Big Government in the Chevron deference case"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The real problem concerning Chevron doctrine is this imo. Constitutionally low-information, post 17th Amendment ratification patriots are unthinkingly reelecting corrupt career lawmakers who establish constitutionally undefined, so-called federal regulatory agencies run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats so that lawmakers don't have to take responsibility for the legislative powers that voters are trusting them with.
What's even worse is that Congress is letting federal regulatory agencies get away with stealing and abusing 10th Amendment-protected state powers to do Congress's dirty legislative work for it.
It's long overdue for Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL of Congress in November, except for patriots like MTG and Gaetz & Company ( and others?), replacing with new lawmakers who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, so that hopeful Trump 47 will not only not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will also support him to quickly finish draining the swamp, especially cleaning up the courts.
Let's not let a misguided Supreme Court get way with merely shaming federal regulatory agencies that probably shouldn't exist in the first place imo.
Thanks for your post.
Many people don’t appreciate the IMPACT and IMPLICATIONS of this decision to big government and potential tyranny…
Fundamentally, 40 years ago, an activist Supreme Court determined that a Administrative Agency’s interpretation of any statute that it administers is entitled to judicial deference unless Congress explicitly says otherwise. Which is to say that congressional legislation means whatever the administrative state determines it means, and this could not be legally challenged.
All of the arbitrary, capricious, and medically unsound administrative actions by FDA, CDC, NIH, and other HHS branches during the COVIDcrisis derived their authority from Chevron. This legal precedent has been what has powered the notoriously arbitrary and capricious actions of the EPA in setting the policies which restrict local small farm-oriented animal processing activities and advantage large centralized slaughterhouses.
This is the legal precedent that has powered the federal requirements concerning the use of natural gas for cooking and heating and requirements for battery-powered electric semi-tractors for long-haul trucking. Functionally, this tendency of the courts to grant legal deference to administrative bureaucracies has trickled all the way down to school boards.
But as of today, the dark days of arbitrary, capricious, and unaccountable administrative actions are over. This decision’s consequences will reverberate across the American legal and regulatory landscape for decades.
