Quibble all you like, it has been that way for living memory, and reversing this is going to cause an enormous amount of chaos, because the modern state is built on these assumptions.

This is not some minor change, you're going to throw the federal government into chaos. I know that's the goal for a lot of people, but they should have the courage to admit that.



For many of us this is a welcome change, the roll back of the administrative state is very very much needed


Discussions about the EPA seem to have to magical ability to make people forget that gems like the DEA and DHS exist. Heck, until recently the FCC was headed by a corporate shill.


People take a very narrow look at the issue, they fail to see the forest for the trees


Avoiding chaos is not a valid reason for allowing a legal injustice to persist even one day longer. I support legal mandates to reduce emissions, but it needs to be done the right way as an Act of Congress, not by unelected bureaucrats creatively reinterpreting a law to suit their political goals.


Chevron deference is executive assent of Congress right to delegate. The Supreme Court is flouting precedent and re-legislating from the bench.

Wow, people are sure selective about which injustices they cannot tolerate "even one day longer".

> I support legal mandates to reduce emissions

Bullshit. You are doing the opposite and know perfectly well what's going to happen.
