Neil Gorsuch is preparing his revenge

Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies, in what could be the most consequential re-write of the protective “deep state” since it was largely created during the New Deal in the 1930s. This is how it worked until last year, a process that simply comports with common sense, as the Supreme Court ruled in 1984 when they established what’s called the “Chevron deference” to legitimize and defend our regulatory agencies. … The agency’s attempt to exercise this never-assigned power not only goes beyond the authority Congress gave it; it goes beyond any authority that Congress could legitimately give it.” Pacific Legal Foundation cuts right to the heart of the ability of agencies to regulate anything, saying the case turns on: “Whether the Court should overrule Chevron…” The Buckeye Institute writes they’re submitting their amicus brief to the Court: “o speak on behalf of the thousands of small businesses concerned with agency aggrandizement of power through Chevron deference…” On the side of you, me, and most other average Americans who just want clean air and water, safe drugs and cars, and reasonable protections in the workplace, the Biden administration has stepped up. In defense of America’s regulatory agencies, the federal government’s brief filed with the Court lays out what’s at stake: “Petitioners bear an especially heavy burden in asking this Court to overrule Chevron, which stands at the head of ‘a long line of precedents’ reaching back decades. But this Court has explained that the Chevron framework rests on a presumption that ‘a statute’s ambiguity constitutes an implicit delegation from Congress to the agency to fill in the statutory gaps.’ This could be the big enchilada, the case that fundamentally transforms America and American government from a modern, well-functioning nation into a third-world backwater where massive corporations and the billionaires they made rich, instead of We the People through elected representatives, set the rules.
