[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, it’s totally cool. All this will result in is that Congress will actually have to be subject matter experts and account for any variances or unknowns when they craft laws, since they can’t defer to subject matter experts at agencies any more. I’m sure they’ll ensure the appropriate levels of particulate matter are filtered out in our tap water or whatever. It’s not like lobbyists will be involved.[/quote]

That sounds much better than being ruled by unelected “subject matter experts”. How long before you start pushing for philosopher kings?  How long have you hated democracy?  How long have you held such contempt for the people of the United States of America?  [/quote]

We get it. You hate government overreach (however you define it). You’re defacto willing go without environmental protection out of spite. An inability to defer to subject matter experts at agencies, where a statue is unclear, such as on something as trivial that might have serious ramifications or cause negative extremely bad health effects doesn’t bother you because “mah freedom” is at stake.[/quote]

We get it. You hate democracy. You’re defacto willing to implement unaccountable philosopher kings out of spite. Overriding our constitutional systems of checks and balances to put into place an unelected, unaccountable set of rulers doesn’t bother you because “mah safety” is at stake. [/quote]

The agencies are subject to the check voters - the President of the United States who appoints the heads of agencies. They can rescind regulations, reinterpret ambiguities in statutes, adopt new regulations, etc.

The problem I see is that those opposed to Chevron don't want to do the hard work of proposing new regulations. They want the Supreme Court - by fiat - to throw out all these regs, even if they were properly introduced by previous executive branch Administrations. There is nothing "democratic" about the Supreme Court ruling by fiat.[/quote]

THIS. This is it in a nutshell and anyone who supports this is, frankly, unAmerican and not worthy of the principles of this country. Maybe China would be more to your liking.[/quote]
