EV regulations 'most at risk' from overthrow of Chevron, says Capital Alpha's James Lucier 

Unelected people in federal agencies never should have had the power they were given under Chevron. Congress needs to reassert itself as the legislative body, executive orders should be curtailed, and voters should hold Congress responsible for acting when action is needed.

5 USC 554. P.L. 89-554. 1946. Chevron Deference was illegal back in 1984 when USSC with only 6 judges No more nameless, faceless, bureaucratic deciding my Constitutional rights.

The most important scotus decision in a long time..the agencies cannot rule in this country..

Outstanding ruling ! Free Americans from tyranny

I 100% agree with the decision, agencies have no one to blame but themselves for overreaching with their interpretations.

Chevron Deference is a sneaky way for Congress to avoid responsibility for crappy policies that punish people.

Taking power away from bureaucrats is always a good thing

So now the "Experts" will have to state in Public what their expertise says. Or they can appear before Congress in Public Hearings and there explain why they see a need to stop American Citizens from doing what we want with our own Property. Or why they should tell us what kind of Car/Truck to buy.

This is so wonderful, Bureaucracy had become the fourth and most powerful branch of government, Trump had been trying to rein in Bureaucracy and his Justice picks did the job for him. The idea the Bureaucrats can create laws and penalties by decree is unamerican, unconstitutional, an abuse of power. Now we need budget cuts that cuts down the size of Bureaucracy to reduce the deficit.

Let’s hope all Federal regulations are immediately suspended until they can all be reviewed to ensure they do not infringe on the peoples individual right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Tear down the Federal Government as it is today and restore the three Co-equal branches of Government.

The agency experts don't know the subject matter either. Look at some of the comgressional hearings.

Aww,sorry for the Democrats and their push for fascism. ☹️

Vote red let’s keep common sense Supreme Court ..liberals Unhinged as always😂

Finally….accountability against a tyrannical government agencies!

We don’t have a dictatorship, we have a representative republic. If you want the law to be something else you have Congress to pass a law and the president signs it. The Courts interpret law this is in our constitution. The people in the agencies who are enforcing the law should not be interpreting law.

It's the legislatures job to make laws, not the executive branch.

Good. There should be no “regulations” forcing people to buy overpriced, poisoned powered plastic bubbles. You wanna buy one? Fine. Just leave the rest of us alone.

Exploited? By whom? Chevron came out in 1984. And it was a bad idea then and a bad idea now. Just what do you fear?

Thank you Donald J Trump!!!!!

Congress should write the laws and rules - not unelected bureaucrats.

This decision was long over due, too long have the agencies run a muck

Unelected bureaucrats shouldn't be using gray areas to take away people's rights.

Good call SCOTUS. The Administration State has been out of control for decades. Have the Legislature actually do their job and if you need guidance on ambiguity?? bring in actual experts to render different opinions so that you The Supreme Court can call Balls and Strikes. Kudos to The Robert’s Court.

The EPA suing individual citizens who run afoul of some EPA regulation. ATF creating regulations that send law abiding citizens to prison.

Americans should be grateful this was overturned bureaucrats have been working against America for decades and it needs to be brought out with lawsuits...

Deregulation is good for the economy.

That's how it was meant to work. Agencies can go to the legislature and try to pass laws the way it was meant to be.

What a great ruling.

This might help free Matt Hoover sooner. A picture of a machine gun part is not a machine gun.

Good. Unelected unaccountable bureaucrats have out of control for decades. Enough already. This will pressure Congress to do their job.

This could help all the farmers & ranchers govt trying to shut down over Vague regulations not written by congress.

The court is saying that agencies should not make law, congress should. If the court is doing its job they should be saying that is our issue not in the law passed

Bureaucrats angry!

So now elected officials can’t hide behind bureaucrats anymore.

thank god we are much freer now from tyranny

Chevron created a Fourth Branch of Government by giving agencies the authority to develop and enforce their own interpretations of the LAW. Thanks GOD, we are back to Three Branches of Government,

One of the best decision they made. This EV/green transition is dead anyway. This is how you stop the rest of America from turning into LA, NYC, Chicago.

Corruption at Federal level!!

Great

MSNBC is surprised? Oh my!

No it isn’t. The agencies have powers given to them. If it isn’t clear then congress can easily clear it up. Why allow faceless bureaucrats to decide when statutory language is unclear? That’s what the courts are for. Separation of powers. Civics 101.

The courts is constitutionally required to determine laws. This put it back in the the courts. There has been too much “interpretation” by agencies, especially in controversial issues such as environmental issues.

The executive branch has no Constitutional authority to make or change law that is reserved to the legislative Congress. Chevron deference has just been rightly overturned for violation/conflict of the APA or Administrative Procedures Act. National agencies do not have unrestricted authority to enforce law arbitrarily. Under the APA, executive orders, rules, and regulations are not binding/valid until the judicial branch and the legislative branch (Congressional oversight) has vetted them by the Constitution or judicial review standards when a person is adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action. By the Constitution, national agencies do not even have the right to exist or have any authority and are a violation of Article I representative government.

Oh you mean unelected officials can no longer make laws??? What are they going to do now? Follow the Laws???

"Interpreted creatively" is orwellian doublespeak for "we control you and everything you are involved in" F.A.F.O.

DC is head and shoulders above King George's wildest dreams... anything to hamstring DC's control over the people.

The problem with leaving all of the fishing things to the fishing people is that most time things related to fishing affect every other area of life, you can’t make that decision in a vacuum. Some one needs to weigh the value of one thing over the others, that’s should be the people, and the people act through congress, or at least that is how it is intended to work

I’m so glad she’s upset

“Interpret them creatively.” EXACTLY!!!!!! Therefore……..creating new law.

About time!! The Judicial branch IS the authority on legal interpretation. The executive branch enforces and the legislative branch writes the law. The administrative branch has no role other than to serve the other three!! Writing and interpreting the law by the administrative state is, and always has been, an abrogation of the legislative branch’s responsibility to write effective laws.

Separation of powers is in the constitution. congress needs to do its damn job and write good laws. If they don’t want to do that, then they can amend the constitution to institutionalize Chevron deference.

The Chevron Ruling needed to go. These agencies had went renegade.

Judges are not stupid they will bring in the experts to testify.

The agencies should have operated under the assumption if you need to have a workshop on interpretation then that was not the intention of the law

Maybe the agencies should not have imposed fees on businesses and forced a fisherman to pay for a regulator that the agency forced them to carry aboard their boats.

This allows for the Rule of Lenity to take hold fully. The government isn't always going to win, and the statists are losing their minds..

I am very grateful for the ruling because now the world economy and 7 billion people will have a chance to grow and heal

I’m laughing at the comments below. OK, flood the Court with hundreds of motions about car headlights, chemistry of prohibited solvents, voltage of hairdriers, safety of children’s toys, etc. The COURT which hasn’t done a real day’s work in its useless life will leave everything to the Sacklers and the Koch Brothers? It’s not like they give a damn.

This Supreme Court... 🙄 Looks like we're stuck with them forever.

The #1 question is this: How will this affect HOAs?

The Chevron Doctrine should have never been adopted in the first place. The simple rule on law is that “the drafters of the law must have written what they meant & they must have meant what they wrote”. It was always that it is the Court to interpret, otherwise it is a case of “Power without Responsibility”. The justices only have to interpret the written word and nothing else. The😊judges are not expected to be technocrats in any thing except in jurisprudence and the😅😅 written law. Even the regulations as in secondary law are subject to the courts interpretation.

If you have puddles on your property the Federal agency in charge of protecting the Waterways of the US could tell you what to do on your property because Chevron deference….

100% agreement with this ruling in these comments. But when your favorite fishing spot stinks to the high heavens of toxic chemicals and the only fish are floating belly up on the surface (as they did 50 years ago), when your kid dies of a cancer caused by contaminated drinking water, when another child dies from food containing deadly bacteria because the big food business couldn't be bothered to process it safely, when the supreme court decides that the drug you take to keep your arthritis in control or to fight your cancer has to be banned because it can be also be used for something that violates their extremist and fanatical religious beliefs, will you still agree?

What great news!!!

I'm pro EV as I own a Tesla and have Solar PV to power my house and car. But I don't think a mandate is appropriate or at least I think the targets are too aggressive mostly because we haven't been easing into these targets like we should've over the last 20 years. There is a lot of infrastructure updates that need to be made and EVs need to be more cost effective before any sort of mandate should be considered. Hybrid vehicles get 90% of the way in terms of emission reduction compared with EVs charged via the fossil fuel powered grid. Until the grid is mostly powered by renewable energy, it's too soon to mandate the usage of EVs as it's wasted effort and money since the incremental environmental benefits don't outweigh the cost. EVs can only be significantly better when they're 100% powered by renewable energy.

Those in the "agencies are held accountable". By who? Agencies are already captured by corporate. The executive branch should not be making law. period. How are politicians supposed to do favors for their friends now?

Try firing a career bureaucrat. Lmao

Limiting the power of the federal government is a great thing. They work for us. This is good for the republic.

Under this reversal, most of the Obama Health Care Act is toast too. Requiring individuals to pay for insurance that doesn't cover anything to begin with, then imposing a fine on your taxes if you can't prove you have said insurance is highly far reaching overstep of the government.

Legalize Freedom

EV's are dying. Nobody wants them.

Boycott all USA Brands

Good for the country.

Ah yes, the "experts" . They are never wrong or biased.

Headcount reduction for agencies are coming.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

This guest gives entirely too much credit to Federal Agency's expertise in what they "regulate." Any business that has been a target of evaluation by these agencies will attest that they in fact know very very little about the sector or market place. Agency law acknowledges this by requiring agencies to have a ridged public comment period before administrative rules are finalized so that market participants can educate rule makers. Couple that with the fact that these administration office often lack an focus on the rights of market participants should lead most industry participants to conclude this is a step in the right direction.

😂😂😂😂 Bye bye Administrative State. THREE BRANCHES, NOT FOUR. You must persuade voters.

Brilliant free the world of the Anthony Fauci as of this world bravo Supreme Court 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼😊

I live in California... WHO gets FIRED? The "experts" (lower case intentional) seemingly CANNOT BE FIRED!!! Its such a tangled up mess in our so called houses of experts in regards to VERY IMPORTANT THINGS

There is a problem with SCOTUS. They are bent on overturning all of the laws implemented before them. Of course, they are wiser than judges who served the SCOTUS before them. What is the background of the judges in the Supreme Court today. LAWYERS! Not CEOs of companies, or industries of any kind.

CHEVRON REVERSAL: 1. Will affect nearly everything the government does; 2. That includes health care, financial services, tech, telecom, taxes, tariffs & labor laws; 3. See biggest impacks in energy, environmental and climate regulation; This is about who decides the law

How many judges really understand highly technical issues? They will have to rely on experts from the agencies.

Little accountability for agencies since civil service protections are solid so unless defunded only extraordinary circumstances or retirement means an exit. With Chevron folks imposed their pov with less regard to the people adversely impacted. Federal payroll when Chevron was created was $75 billion which equals 211 billion in 2024. Actual Federal payroll is $1400 billion.

Absolutely brilliant decision. Reigns in the constant overreach of government bureaucrats.

I remember complaining to a jack-ass, superior to thou planner in a Douglas County, CO because he was changing the rules on the fly. he told me, "my job is to protect people from their own stupidity". my partner had to hold me back...

The FAA is gonna have legal issues and probably have to rewrite their interpretation of what is considered recreational fight vs a commercial drone flight. Their remote ID rule is so strict I can't turn it off when I'm flying inside the privacy of my own home. Cops, neighbors, and anyone with a cellphone nearby can see that I'm flying inside my home. It's not just the epa and the usda, lol. The 2018 FAA reauthorization act only says drone must be flown for strictly recreational purposes. So why is the FAA saying anything that even indirectly benefits a company makes that flight a commercial flight. If I share recreational drone video with my local news, the FAA says that's in furtherance of that news business, so I need a commercial drone license. I can't even inspect my own roof with my drone. I can fly over my roof and see it, but if I then go, oh, I need to fix that. Boom commercial flight. So the news can fear monger Chevron, but it was bad law. It allows agencies like the FAA to step way out of bounds when interpreting ambiguous laws.

Most judges are not firefighters, and are not aware of the difference in flammability between a gasoline powered car, and an electric one. (Note - gasoline can be dispersed with water, batteries can not, and the lithium oxide prevents smothering as the reaction produces its own oxygen. Electric cars take nearly six times as much water to extinguish.) So expecting them to have the final word on on car fire protection requirements is pretty damn asinine. The government passes laws - agencies enforce it. Congress says we want less toxins in our air, the EPA figures out how to make that directive work. I certainly hope you are not expecting your senator to personally show up at a sewage plant and check the water quality and make adjustments. Similarly - beurocrats can be hired, fired, retrained, and disciplined - unlike judges that are usually an appointed position with fairly minimal oversight.

This is going to be a disaster. Gorsuch didnt even use the right gas in his ruling. He confused it with laughing gas! Do we want judges deciding what pollutants are harmful when they have no expertise?? People will die

fact check 👉Lower courts have applied Chevron in thousands of cases, and the Supreme Court itself has upheld an agency's reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute at least 70 times.

This is what happens when people ONLY care about themselves and what benefits THEM.

So Danny Cervallos doesn't actually answer questions. As a legal analyst he can also point out that congress, not the executive branch, is supposed to "make law", and can also make less ambiguous statutes.

Call them unelected all you want, but as the guest said they were the experts in the subject. Elected officials specifically leave laws vague so that the experts can decide the details and so that the elected officials can't really be held accountable. What this gives the US is now unelected and essentially unremovable judges making decisions instead of subject matter experts. No one except political partisans is served well by this. Unfortunately, like the harm to the middle class that Reganomics did, this will take decades to show how bad this decision is.

Chevron was a wrong decision, just like separate but equal was an erroneous ruling. We finally have a court that follows the law.

That's the way it should be unelected bureaucrats should not be deciding how Americans live that's what the supreme Court is for and the courts.

Deconstructing the administrative state and checking power of these unelected bureaucrats.

I agree with the decision. It is Congresses job to make the laws. It is the Judiciary who interprets the law. Agency law was always a mistake.

Federalmagencies have been abusing their power for years. The case from past week is an example of Federal Agencies writing their own rules that they claim are laws. Forcing herri g fishermen to have a government employee on board the ship is ridiculous.

Screw the liberal justices on this. This should have been a 9-0 decision. EVs will destroy the entire automotive industry.

Tesla demonstrates that ev can prevail on its merit... little government assistant doesn't hurt. Expects should advise not decide ( exept doctors actually having to perform along these lines)
