Greg Reese on the Chevron Deference,
It's how OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab or be fired. No law gave them that authority. They just made it up.
It's how the ATF, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, was able to decide a piece of plastic was a machine gun.
It's how the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, the NRCS, is able to decide that a small puddle is a protected wetland. --Greg Reese

1:40. A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business because they couldn't afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the NMFS, the National Marine Fisheries Service to monitor their company. The thing is federal law doesn't authorize the NMFS to charge businesses for this. They just decided to start doing it in 2013. Why did they think they could get away with just charging people without any legal authorization? Because in 1984 in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the experts in their field, and the courts should defer to their interpretation of the law. So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to interpret laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it. It was called "Chevron deference," and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country.

It's how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them because they were the experts.
Imagine if your local police could just arrest you for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you'd actually committed a crime or not, just off to jail you go. That's what "Chevron deference" was. It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone. Thankfully, it's now gone. We haven't even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used for years to come to roll back federal agencies, and we'll all be better off for it. And that's why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.
In an era of bad news, the US Supreme Court has brought us some good tools that we the people can wield to work on restoring America. Happy Independence Day.

As a follow-up, please read this by James T. Moodey @ Lew Rockwell. Looks like there was momentum building for this at least since last year, January 2023. Check out Judge Napolitano's essay, titled, "A Government by Experts," January 12, 2023.
Tom Luongo has got his claws on this as well at least since March 23, 2024,
This is yet another example of the desperate need for the Supreme Court to take up the Chevron Deference and strike it down. The agencies should not be making law. That’s Congress’ job.
And I don’t care if Congress is allergic to doing its job, new emission regulations should not be in the hands of unelected bureaucrats run by chiefs who are chosen by the current political party.
