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.
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.
