One interesting thing in the CBS article is an affirmation on what I commented on the other day with allowing bump stocks. I said it might be a precursor to Chevron.
Chevron doctrine has been applied by lower courts in thousands of cases. The Supreme Court itself has invoked the framework to uphold agencies' interpretations of statutes at least 70 times, but not since 2016.
The pair of disputes were among several others that the justices are deciding this term that involve the power of federal agencies. They also weighed the constitutionality of internal legal proceedings at the Securities and Exchange Commission, which threatened to upend the work of administrative law judges in various federal agencies, as well as whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lacked the authority to outlaw bump stocks under a 1934 law that regulated machine guns.
The court ruled in a divided 6-3 decision that the ATF did go too far when it banned bump stocks, invalidating the rule put in place during the Trump administration.
For those of you that don't quite understand the Chevron Deference, CBS actually did a pretty good job explaining it in the post article. I view it as a huge tool to help to REALLY drain the swamp. Power is now shifted from the administrative agencies and back to CONgress - where it will require them to actually work and make laws if they want to uphold any of the stuff these agencies did on their own.
Finally!
Here is the SCOTUS decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf
