Ding dong the Chevron's dead.

Well they finally did it. Now congress has to be explicit in what it wants executive agencies to do when it passes laws, or face courts figuring it out for them.

A great day for the separation and balance of powers at the federal level.

SHOCKER: SCOTUS Delivers a Kill Shot to Big Government

The Supreme Court itself has recognized in a line of cases that unelected bureaucrats should not decide major questions. Major or minor, the number of questions decided by agencies has proliferated over the course of generations. For more than a century, distrust of the electorate and the ceding of more and more power to the unelected—the phenomenon associated with the Progressive Era—was the dominant paradigm of governing. The vast bulk of the executive branch became insulated from elected officials without serious challenge, even as the everyday experience of citizens rendered the notion of the superior competence of government bureaucrats ridiculous.

When then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh was on the D.C. Circuit Court, he argued:

We must recognize how much Chevron invites an extremely aggressive executive branch philosophy of pushing the legal envelope (a philosophy that, I should note, seems present in the administrations of both political parties). After all, an executive branch decisionmaker might theorize, “If we can just convince a court that the statutory provision is ambiguous, then our interpretation of the statute should pass muster as reasonable. And we can achieve an important policy goal if our interpretation of the statute is accepted. And isn’t just about every statute ambiguous in some fashion or another? Let’s go for it.” Executive branch agencies often think they can take a particular action unless it is clearly forbidden.

This ruling clearly showed why the dissenting liberals can never be trusted. Their unwavering support of granting unlegislated power to the executive shows their obvious disdain for the Constitution.

All in all between the death of Chevron, the Fischer ruling, and the Biden debate disaster, it's a great day.

HUGE win for we the people.

You mean....that politicians will have to do something other than gain insider knowledge with which they trade stocks,

Oh say it isn't so!

 

[initforme]

As long as corporations don't gain power it's good.

 

[whitehall]

The Founding Fathers determined that congress would regulate the issues of commerce and not some unelected bureaucrats who pretend to represent the United States. Well done decision by the S.C.

Basically, if you sue the government for doing or not doing something, courts no longer have to give deference to what the govt says the law requires it to do, or not do.

No, the executive agencies cannot simply craft laws, that power was placed back in the legislatures hands, where it belongs.

Wrong again. No longer can the government agencies rule by fiat. Publish a Rule one year, then publish a Rule that counters it down the road. All the while impeding the Rights of the people.

What law? Be specific, if you want to remain civil.

They are called Rules. That's how they get around LAWS.

Let the law suits fly... time to put the federal government in its place... no more pushing us around by unelected bureaucrats...

Goodbye clean air. Goodbye clean water.

Now it is up to the retards in Congress to determine what is a safe level of toxins ppm is safe to drink instead of experts.

[g5000]

Congress has long written laws with a tremendous amount of slack which they expected regulatory agencies and their scientists to fill in the blanks.

It's going to be fun watching them being bribed going forward by special interests to not crack down on companies poisoning our water and air.

The EPA is largely responsible for this ruling pal.... it got too big for its britches...

The unlegislated regulations being passed off as laws across a wide spectrum of executive agencies. While preexisting regulations are case by case now, this limits any new overreach before it begins. Look for a slew of lawsuits regarding EPA, ATF, FDA, and DHS regulations to hit soon.

The government has no fucking experts, you idiot.

They have LIARS, is what they have.

It was the agencies heavy handed enforcement and sheer overreach that brought this on.
