Can anyone summarize for me, in less than 5 sentences, what is the "Chevron Deference", When it came in to play, why it's 'removal' is significant from the viewpoint of : sovereignty of the people?
That sounds like a chatgpt prompt to me I'll be back with it's response.
I'm back:
Chevron deference refers to a legal principle established by a 1984 Supreme Court case (Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.) which directs courts to defer to administrative agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutes when Congress has not directly spoken on the issue. Its removal is significant for the sovereignty of the people because it shifts power from unelected bureaucrats to elected representatives in Congress. This change allows for clearer accountability and oversight over regulatory decisions, potentially reducing the influence of bureaucratic agencies in interpreting laws. It underscores the democratic principle that laws and their interpretations should primarily reflect the will and intent of elected lawmakers rather than administrative bodies.

Why, thank you sir.
And, that sounds pretty darn good.
