Courthouse Steps Decision: Loper Bright & Relentless

[@shawnsantiago8636]

I remember every scholar predicting that the court would “kisor”-ize chevron doctrine, notably, because everyone thought they wouldn’t pull the plug. I don’t remember reading any reference to kisor v wilkie in the opinion, but i could be wrong

[@joshhawkins2765]

Roberts’ concurrence in Kisor basically said that they weren’t gonna do that

[@LegalesePodcast]

Kisor is cited in Gorsuch's concurrence and Kagan's dissent.

@@LegalesePodcast thank you!

@@shawnsantiago8636 given the oral arguments in this case it seemed pretty clear they were going to do what they basically did, replace Chevron with Skidmore.

One of the best decisions ever made. Chevron gave bureaucrats too much power.

Wonder who might have influenced this big reversal 😊 team effort

[@LegalesePodcast]

I especially wonder who or what got the Chief Justice on board. He's always seemed to believe stare decisis should take precedent (pun intended) over fixing mistakes from the past. Now, he didn't merely change his mind, his majority opinion was one of the most finely crafted arguments for overturning Chevron I have ever read.

This country has too many agencies. That make too many regulations. The government that was created by the People for the People has undergone a corporate takeover. The People became too busy earning a living and it’s time to get out the tractor and bush hog. ❤

I bet those observers were a non profit association. National non profit.

@@SJ-lm7xz No, they were part of the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is an Executive Branch administrative agency... How would Loper Bright even be a case if the NMFS were anything other than a Congressionally enacted administrative agency, since the Chevron Doctrine referred SOLELY to statutory interpretations by government created administrative agencies???
