Supreme Court overturns Chevron precedent, limiting federal regulatory power

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Thursday to overturn a 40-year-old decision that had given federal agencies broad regulatory power, curtailing the agencies' ability to enforce regulations. Former federal prosecutor Scott Fredericksen joined CBS News to discuss the decision and attorney and CBS News campaign reporter Katrina Kaufman has more on the cases still on the court's docket.

He lied. It's not enforcing regulations, they are adding restrictions that were never intended by the original law. Key word LAW. If it isn't a LAW It's not enforceable.

[@gprang]

Correct. No one is saying "don't protect the environment." The Court is saying, "if Congress wants to vest certain authority in the agencies, let them pass a law saying so. But under the current LAW, the Courts, not the agencies, have the final say." That's all. But yeah, his was a terrible, biased explanation.

[@heyaisdabomb]

@@gprang Congress is dysfunctional, and the volume of regulations that are set in various industries would never get through congress. There are constant changes to regulations based on science, from scientists in these agencies. Congress would be voting on changes every day to some regulation and nothing would ever get passed anyways, because you'll have democrats saying "micro plastics are bad and shouldn't be in our drinking water", and republicans saying "actually, micro plastics are good for you". This in essence will destroy the quality of our air and drinking water. Congress can't not and will not be able to keep up and limit chemicals from our drinking water and air, because even if they were in congress working hard instead of fighting, they wouldn't have enough time in the day, and certainly, are not scientists.

[@BanjoZZZ]

To prevent any branch of government becoming too powerful, powers were separated: Congress writes laws, the Executive branch approves them, and the Supreme Court interprets laws. In 1984 the Supreme Court (with three Justices absent) wrote a decision known as the "Chevron decision", which combined all powers under the Executive branch. The President and his staff now had authority to write laws and interpret them, without the other branches of government. Today's Supreme Court decision weakens the Chevron decision, which helps to restore the separation of powers.

I am 83 years old. I grew up on the shores of L.I. Sound in Connecticut. When Richard Nixon founded the EPA, the clean up of our air, and water, began. In my youth when you looked out over the Sound, there was a green haze. We were told that it was the edge of the world and if you entered the haze you would fall off the earth. While some of the pollution was generated in the area. A large portion of it was carried in by the prevailing winds from the west. Legislation was enacted that curbed that inflow, and today on most days you can gaze across the Sound and see the white sandy beaches and larger buildings with the naked eye. We continue to have bad days when the air is hazardous and not healthy for a great many people, but not on the scale it was. On an August night when Donald Trump was running for office in 2016, he held a rally at Fairfield University. At that rally he told the crowd that he would bring "Clean Coal" back. It was a hot muggy evening and their was a tri-state alert that the air was hazardous for all groups. The crowd roared their approval. Several collapsed and had to be taken to hospital.

Alito's wife stands to earn 3/16ths of the money generated from the land should extraction prove successful.

This is just dumb. Do congress knows environmental science (in the expert level)? No. All they know is nonsense politics. If the EPA is involved heavily when drafting an environmental law, there will be minimal-to-no ambiguity in the first place. The problem is congress can draft laws with essentially no consultation to the experts in the discipline where the laws will be effective.

@@Rustea314 So you believe that without unlawful bureaucratic rule, no laws exist? Corporations are people too, and they're accountable under the same standards as everyone else. They're called laws. Don't like the laws? Pass new ones. You don't get to just erect an unelected, unaccountable, totalitarian bureaucracy to "hold people accountable" for things that you weren't willing or able to pass a law to "hold them accountable" under. This was one of the single greatest injustices in American history, and SCOTUS absolutely did the right thing to overturn it. Our government is not allowed to "hold people accountable" for anything unless the House, the Senate, and the President, i.e our elected and accountable representatives, pass a law. That's literally the whole point of the Constitution.

[@woodspriteful]

My experience of judges is that they don't know the law, so letting a judge decide on complicated law with total immunity and no guidance by legal regulators is basically an elimination of regulation. Americans are not safe in this tyranny. We won't have a Federal government in the next couple of years. Are the people evolved and protected enough in other ways to thrive (let alone survive) in this environment? I don't know, but I think many will pass on to the afterlife in these circumstances and they typically are the conservatives who aid the top 1% through their ideology in this recent Supreme Court decision.

[@MrScissor90]

We do not need federal government to survive and thrive. This ruling has given the power back to the people and blocks federal unelected beurocracts from making up the rules as they see fit.

[@woodspriteful]

@@MrScissor90 I agree that it's possible, but there are implications with regard to nuclear/defense against large nations and the need for updated state constitutional rights and judicial systems. The contrast between states would create new borders and problems around civil rights refuge. But it might just be the new reality vs a choice that a candidate or the people can halt. Hopefully, the dark ages don't last long and we move into a new era of consciousness and spirituality.
