“When the 1st Amendment died?”
The 1st Amendment died when a free press, as government oversight for the citizens of our Country decided to shape the news according to leftwing radical ideological dogma. The press became the TASS of the United States.
British rule of the colonies was absolutely benign compared to today’s sadistic, dictatorial, malevolent, confiscatory, murderous, corrupt Union government.
Elegantly stated, thank you!
This ruling should affect Waters of The US , the .gov largest land grab evah, right?
I can’t imagine how the conservative court during Reagan’s term in 1984 could have ruled that way to begin with.
Good analogy there, Bonemaker. Worse tyranny than the 18th century British dished out. Ben Franklin is rolling in this grave.
Long ago, when employed by National Marine Fisheries, an arm of NOAA, I was amazed at the power NOAA had over New England fisheries. I soon left for greener pasture, but I will never forget my discussions with fisherman and the questions that they posed that I could not answer.

Yes, and maybe now Utah can go back to being the desert that it is, instead of a being a “navigable waterway”.
Surely government pressured censorship of social media has taken it farther.
“How will SCOTUS enforce it’s rulings when leftist democrat filth just do whatever they want?”
Elected constitutional sheriffs have the legal and armed muscle to take down rogue bureaucrats.
Interestingly, Scalia did not author a dissent of this ruling. He did however begin the process of undoing that holding.

Decision that directed federal courts to defer to agencies’ interpretation of unclear laws enacted by Congress.
What mean kickbacks Moe.
All but two Republican nominated shows how no one can, nor should, try to install clones of their ideology into the Third Branch of government. While that court rendered an unfortunate decision others with more liberal members have surprised us with common sense (which should be called rare good sense).
👍
Ironically, the original Chevron decision was set up by a right-wing friendly rule by the EPA under Gorsuch’s mother, who was challenged by a left-wing group. The court sided with the right-wing EPA at the time under the Reagan administration.
There are billions of dollars and at least tens of thousands of gov employees that say differently .
Who will enforce the ruling? Why would they commit suicide?
We are in a post legal stage of our nation.
