WASHINGTON — The U.S. response to the Covid-19 pandemic got politically messy. A Friday Supreme Court ruling could frustrate government responses to public health emergencies even further.
The Supreme Court struck down a long-standing legal doctrine that directed judges to defer to reasonable federal agency interpretations of ambiguous or technically challenging aspects of the law. The loss of the so-called Chevron doctrine calls into question every federal agency’s interpretation of a statute, so the ruling affects the regulations of all federal agencies.

There were other cases in which Chevron didn’t come up but that involved agencies making legal justification for rules that were very broad, she said. Those include mask requirements for travel, vaccinate-or-test requirements for large employers, and an eviction moratorium. Most of those were struck down even with the Chevron doctrine in place.
“Without Chevron, agencies may be wary of acting, even during an emergency, because their actions could be challenged, and they would no longer be able to cite Chevron in defense of their policy choices,” White said.

Good, they need some hamstringing.
The answer? Like democrats say, “my body, my choice. “
This guy’s argument is just a back door excuse for egregious government overstep without benefit of actual specific codified statute. You want government mandate vaccines so bad? Then make Congress codify it. No sale. Chevron was rightfully axed.
And the government worshipping slime oozes out from under their rocks to lie to the public about the Chevron deference for example
“ legal doctrine that directed judges to defer to reasonable federal agency interpretations”
there was nothing in the doctrine about reasonable interpretation it was defer to EVERY interpretation y agencies
Sounds like someone is Big Mad that they won’t be able to just lock us in our homes and stick us full of poisoned voodoo needles.
Let them think twice about tyrranizing the public with half baked theories.

“Sounds like someone is Big Mad that they won’t be able to just lock us in our homes and stick us full of poisoned voodoo needles.”
Preceded by unleashing a super bug that Fauci and the Chinese create to kill millions in the U.S. this time.
I don’t put anything past these devils.
If the statutes are ambiguous, Congress can write them more clearly. And if Congress can’t come to an agreement on unambiguous language, Congress can simply do nothing.
When it comes to government, doing nothing is almost always the right thing to do.
“The government which governs least governs best”.
They mean public health emergencies created by the Chi-coms, and deliberately released on the world. Thanks, but I survived the last manufactured one not doing a damn thing different than I’ve been doing all along.
The fascist SOB’s need some stringing alright.
During the Covid outbreak in 2020, the CDC cited the 1944 Public Health Services Act, (amended many times since) giving them very general powers “to prevent the introduction, transmission and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States” - in their outrageous action to stop landlords from collecting rents from tenants (later unconstitutionally extended by Biden) for nearly 18 months
Where the hell did the Public Health Services Act say the CDC (which didn’t even exist at the time) have the right to intervene in contracts between landlords and tenants on private property?
Good.
There are 50,000 Fauci like petty tyrant bureaucrats in the federal agencies that need to be pulled out like ticks. Overturning Chevron is a good start.
BULLSQUEEZE
The chevron dictate was a thief in the nite to our liberty. Good it is gone.
Good. Many pronouncements by “experts” were crap or kneejerk guesswork.
Many were worse than random crap. They were deliberately unconstitutional actions to further leftist agendas
Don’t fall for the author’s focus on disease. It is about control.
Plans to call climate change or guns a health emergency have now been quenched a little. It would take congressional action and a president’s signature to happen. Little Fauci wannabes can’t bully around the US populous as easily anymore.
