There are definitely ways to drain:
1) Courts. Already, Trumpian courts have rendered several anti-Swamp rulings, most notably the HUGE Fifth Circuit ruling against the SEC that basically undoes about 95% of administrative law justification. It stops just short of overturning Chevron, but Robert Barnes of Barnes Law notes that there are other suits out there specifically focused on Chevron.
Steve Bannon told me that the PRIMARY characteristic Trump used in selecting Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh was not their position on moral social issues but on their responses to multiple screening questions on Chevron and their willingness to unravel the Deep State.
BTW, lost in Roberts’ Ocare decision, even by conservatives, was the fact that he ELIMINATED using the Commerce Clause as a mechanism for regulating most things. Now that other legs are being cut out from underneath them, the Deep Staters will find it much more difficult to pull an end run anywhere else.
2) Trump started to do this, and in his next term he should continue: move as many offices out of DC as possible. Eliminate to any degree possible a “social network” of Deep Staters at cocktail parties and lunches. Make them HAVE to interact with ordinary Americans over whom they govern.
3) Bannon had a great suggestion for Trump’s next term. It would be costly, but definitely worth it: begin massive “early retirement bonus” buyouts of personnel, and once gone, kill the position immediately. This has tremendous logic behind it, as it is not nearly as hard to kill an empty seat/office as one in which someone is still getting money from.
4) Elect MAGA. This is the longer term solution, but Congress after all writes laws. Trump was a federalist and constantly begged Congress to handle the problems. A powerful MAGA core in the House & Senate (don’t even need a majority) can dramatically change all Deep State law.
There is option number 5...
A majority of States turn red and uphold their rights, denying fedgov encroachment (10th amendment) and refusing to comply.
Of course we know how fedgov reacted last time this was attempted and the resulting war that killed many young men. The fedgov reaction to States holding to their rights and starving the fed beast would might certainly have a similiar consequence, considering the fed tyrants currently in power, however, it is still better than option number 6.
Option number 6...Same as April 19th, many years ago version 2.0, which would be even more terrible and split this nation into pieces, with rife opportunity for foriegn enemies to claim parts of the pieces.
...that is all
Love it! This post is some of the best news I have heard since the nightmares of 2020.
Thought provoking post - plus you sent me searching; I presume you are referencing Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc..
Administrative 'regulations' are the #1 threat to freedom. As Pat Robertson has lamented: There are so many federal regulations, many contradicting each other... you cannot 'not be' in violation of some federal rule. :^(
