What is Chevron. Sorry I should know this...
Chevron was a Supreme Court opinion from 1984 (EDITED: Not from the early 1970’s) that gave federal agencies broad discretion to interpret legislative intent. These agencies passed thousands of “regulations” some of which are (or were) punishable by prison and fines.
Basically, the agencies are on the Executive branch and were riding the Chevron Deference as it became known to pass laws. That is not a power of the Executive Branch.
This is a huge win for freedom. Before Chevron, any ambiguity in legislation fell in favor of We the People. Going back to the Constitutional separation of powers will reduce the size of government and its intrusion on every aspect of American life.
To give an example, let's say Congress passes legislation creating a new Agency called Social Computing And Media (SCAM) whose purpose is to make sure that social media companies aren't harming their users. Then SCAM creates a regulation that says "Social Media companies must protect the fee fee's of their users." Next day, user @AllBigotsMustDie complains that someone commented on xir post saying "Jesus loves you, I'll pray for your soul."
Now, since @AllBigotsMustDie identifies as a non-binary, otherly abled, transmasculine, fempresenting, furrykindish, indigenous birthing person of color... well it's obviously a hate crime. And the DOJ raids the home of the offensive, bigoted, transphobic, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, capitalist, treasonous, OrangeManBad supporter at 5 am while CNN does a live stream.
The DOJ uses SCAMs regulation to prosecute, and the world becomes a better, safer, more inclusive place.
The End.
this is great
That was good
Can we please doxx @AllbigotsMustDiePRUOR to all this Nonsense and maybe avoid all this hassle for out imaginary fren?
Kek.
Not here, that would just get us banned.
This is huge news. Agencies spoke the ATF and their sweeping powers to stupidly ban stuff would/could not be curtailed.
Yes! When POTUS is reelected(for the 3rd time), he can get rid of many alphabet agencies or at least vastly reduce their reach. Since Federal law supersedes state law, we'll see less of, for example, state's Ag departments going after and trying to shut down farmers. As the wife of a man who farmed for years, I can say that the Federal regulations were outrageous as was the amount of paperwork. Telling someone where and what they are allowed plant on their own land - insane.
Thank you for the excellent and well-written explanation.
You are welcome. Thank you for the nice compliment.

Basically - Chevron required judges to defer to agency "experts" to decide the interpretation of statutes instead of having to make the ruling on their own interpretation of law. Chevron doctrine gave a lot of power to bureaucrats to set their own rules, thereby denying the public of due process.
So no more shoe lace machine guns?
Among other things, yes.
This is a massive win towards dismantling the bureaucratic satanist state.
And way more protections for individual patent holders...
What a huge win. Wonderful. And thanks for the link.
The reason EPA destroyed dishwashers that now can't dry anything anymore.
The reason ATF can just burst into your home just 'cause.
Etc etc.
Bureaucratic satanism.
Could you give me more on the dishwasher thing you mentioned? We built a house 3 years ago and our dishwasher never dries dishes. They've replaced it 3 times and now we're considering removal and adding cabinets if they don't work.
"Energy Star" certifications gimped a lot of appliances from doing a good job with things. Not using enough water, not using enough heat to dry... Plus you have manufacturers building in planned obsolesence so you're forced to buy a new one every 5-10 years.
Also: Detergents were gimped. Chlorox, which is certainly a harmful chemical, years ago was gimped by probably Proctor & Gamble or whoever makes it. It was a noticable change when it happened. I try to prewash all my dishes before washing them now otherwise the shit won't get cleaned.
Ok. Did a little research on this too. I see they removed the heating element on dishwashers and opted for a cooling fan to condense water from dishes into the tub, thinking it would drip down to the drain. Doesn't work well with new polymers and plastics being used on cookware and utensils. Works better if using stoneware or metals because they retain heat to evaporate the water allowing it to condense onto the tub. Now I know! Thank you!
Air conditioners got gimped by removing Freon.
Here are some tips that might help with sucky dishwasher performance: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0
Reigning in these dipshit federal agencies regulatory power https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-chevron-deference-power-of-federal-agencies/
Fuck yes!
The administrative state had the ability to fine you, shut you down, etc. and you had no recourse through the courts. In a word: dictatorship.
