 Not only does it remove the boot of an unelected mandarin class from the necks of Americans, it might possibly make Congress actually write laws that make sense.

Congress has been allowed to be lazy for decades because they wrote vague laws and then relied on the independent federal agencies to ‘interpret’ the laws as they saw fit.  Hilariously so because the unelected administrators were supposed to be the ‘subject matter experts’ (and they clearly are not).

From the decision:

“Chevron defies the command of the APA that the reviewing court—not the agency whose action it reviews—is to decide all relevant questions of law and interpret statutory provisions,” Roberts found. “It requires a court to ignore, not follow, the reading the court would have reached had it exercised its independent judgment as required by the APA.”

“Courts interpret statutes, no matter the context, based on the traditional tools of statutory construction, not individual policy preferences,” the majority declared. “Indeed, the Framers crafted the Constitution to ensure that federal judges could exercise judgment free from the influence of the political branches.”

So regulations created by career bureaucrats had the force of the rule of law without recourse since the courts automatically gave these regulations precedence over any objection by the American people.

Which skewed the checks and balances system of US government because it, in essence, created a fourth branch.

So the fact that this has been reversed restores (in theory) freedoms to the US people.  Which, IMO, is awesome.

But someone commented that the leftists will be throwing fits because the mandarin class will now, in theory, not be able to run roughshod over the populace.  And I couldn’t imagine.

And then I saw it.  People bemoaning the fact that the EPA, which, IMO, has done as much to ruin the economy and trample individual rights as any agency, will now be reined in.

The EPA, Dept of Ed, CDC, FDA, Dept of Energy, ATF, and the plethora of three letter agencies, have been suffering from mission creep since 1984.  And that’s a lot of time and a lot of creep.

Anything that curtails them can be nothing but good for US citizens.

ETA: Thanks to B for the backchannel explanation on the nature of the Three Letter agencies.  I updated my verbiage accordingly.
