This kind of nonsense demonstrates a complete ignorance of how the regulatory process works.  NO, agencies cannot just invent new laws out of thin air, and there IS oversight and accountability.  Every regulation cites the enabling / authorizing statute for the rulemaking and every rulemaking goes through public comment, review and approval before it goes into effect.  Proposed rulemaking is submitted to both houses of Congress as well as the Government Accountability Office for review and approval or overturn.  Congress has oversight hearings on rulemaking.  Congress has the power to modify or repeal regulations.  That's all under the Congressional Review Act.  The Administrative Procedure Act also gives industry, academia, stakeholders and the public opportunity to review and provide comment on proposed rules as well.

It is the height of dishonesty and ignorance that the Republicans have promoted this complete mythology of "unelected bureaucrats creating thin air with no oversight."  That's always been a bald-faced lie.  And now SCOTUS has seriously undermined the ability of Executive Branch agencies to function coherently along with burdening Congress and lower courts with all of this.[/quote]

How did it get tipped over?

Oh yeah,  someone called bullsh*t.

"The heart of the Chevron decision says [b]federal agencies should be allowed to fill in the details when laws aren’t crystal clear. [/b]Opponents of the decision argued that it gave power that should be wielded by judges to experts who work for the government.

The court ruled in cases brought by Atlantic herring fishermen in New Jersey and Rhode Island who challenged a fee requirement. Lower courts used the Chevron decision to uphold a 2020 National Marine Fisheries Service rule that herring fishermen pay for government-mandated observers who track their fish intake.

Conservative and business interests strongly backed the fishermen’s appeals, betting that a court that was remade during Republican Donald Trump’s presidency would strike another blow at the regulatory state."

In other words Republicans made taxpayers bear the burden of the cost of oversight over the fisheries industry.  That's typical of Republicans.  They want industry to be able to reap all the profits but want taxpayers to pay the cost of doing business.   Capitalist where it comes to corporate profits, socialist where it comes to corporate expenses.  Wild.[/quote]
