If you’re not a law nerd, and you’re wondering why people who are not themselves theocratic fascists would support theocratic fascists, it’s to achieve this: to limit the power of the regulatory state.

What gets me is that this would backfire on the very people who are pushing for it. They are so ignorant that they can't think of what the big picture is.

I find it ironic that Chevron itself was a conservative project to get regulations out from under the thumb of, what up to that point was, a consistently Democratic controlled House of Representatives. Let Reagan’s cronies decide!

Also because they don’t think the leopards err theocratic fascists won’t eat their faces with their own raft of regulations.

Is it intellectually lazy of me to just want the opposite of whatever an Amicus Brief from a Koch-allied organization says? I can’t think of an instance where this “rule” would have resulted in an outcome that is harmful to the US Government or the majority of the citizens.

Theocratic fascists are just the pawns of billionaires whose lives will be unaffected by theocratic fascists running the country (world? 🤔)

Today's decisions really brought this into contrast for me. Do the people paying the bills for this Court care more about limiting abortions, or making money? Answer: They can *sell* you mifepristone. But they *hate* unions.

/2 The argument FOR the regulatory state is more or less a confession of the failure of American politics: if you relied on Congress, women would still be taking Thalidomide for morning sickness, because there’s no democratic consensus for health and safety regulation.

If they get rid of this and dems retain the house, doesn't that mean the dem house then gains the power to issue even more strict regulations?

If they’re willing to support theocratic fascists, they are not meaningfully different from said theocratic fascists.

When I was in law school I railed constantly against Chevron, thinking it was absurd that agencies would get away with so much poorly-thought-out rules and concepts. Then I started practicing and encountered judges in the wild for the first time.

The biggest problem with Chevron IMO is the race to the courthouse steps issue that what a law means will vary based on whether the agency or a court gets to it first. Could solve that by allowing agencies to regulate overrides of decisions if the court decision doesn’t say that the law is clear

Lmao just imagining at Congress trying to set weight and balance regulations on passenger aircraft, to say nothing of every other FAA safety regulation. Fucking insane. Nobody will be able to trust our products or infrastructure on anything.

If the choice is between "paying something extra to deal with regulatory overhead" or "being shot because Dear Leader didn't like that you liked a tweet he didn't like", I'd know which I'd pick. A system of law under which arguably bad regulations can be challenged > rulership by whim and decree.
