[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a reaction to liberals taking advantage of Chevron to write laws without a vote of Congress, calling it an interpretation of a law to which the courts must provide deference.

Previously when they lost at the Supreme Court the EPA bragged it was too late the changes had taken effect and couldn't be reversed.  This caused the Supreme Court to throw out the Clean Power Plan with a stay before the case could be heard.[/quote]

Chevron came about due to a change by Reaganite Republicans at the EPA to make it easier for polluting factories to make changes to a factory without having to get explicit permission from the EPA.

Literally, it was FedSoc lawyers in the Reagan Administration who argued for the Chevron deference.

Now? Those same FedSoc lawyers want to undo the standard they helped create.

It's absolutely incredible and gob smacking. Chevron has nothing to do with "liberals." It was a creation of Reaganites who wanted to ease regulations on polluters.[/quote]

Give me a break. Law of unintended consequences is real. Lots of environmentalists and blue states today lamenting the environmental impact/review process that was used by environmental groups to obstruct and delay development in the 80s and 90s in places like California. Now those processes are being deployed by NIMBYs against green and critical infrastructure and it’s turning into a problem.   This is not unique to FedSoc or the right. [/quote]

What did I say that wasn't true? Who was arguing for the Chevron deference in 1983 before the SC?

Hint - it was this guy: https://fedsoc.org/paul-m-bator-award-recipients

Thanks![/quote]
