We are so proud of you Dad!

You taught me that we should all be who God calls us to be. This is your calling, and we know you will do great things.

For those who don't understand what Chevron Deference is, and why SCOTUS ended it, here's the long and short of it:

A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business, because they couldn't afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the National Marine Fisheries Service to monitor their company.

The thing is, federal law doesn't authorize NMFS to charge businesses for this. They just decided to start doing it in 2013.

Why did they think they could away with just charging people without any legal authorization?

Because in 1984, in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the "experts" in their field, and the courts should just defer to their "interpretation" of the law.

So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to "interpret" laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it.

It was called Chevron Deference, and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country.

It's how the OHSA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab, or be fired.

No law gave them that authority, they just made it up.

It's how the ATF was able to decide a piece of plastic was a "machine gun".

It's how the NCRS was able to decide that a small puddle was a "protected wetlands".

It's how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air, and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them, because they were the "experts".

Imagine if your local police could just arrest you, for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you'd actually committed a crime or not. Just off to jail you go.

That's what Chevron Deference was.

It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone.

Thankfully, it's now gone.

We haven't even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used, for years to come, to roll back federal agencies, and we'll all be better of for it.

And that's why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.

[Leslie Rutledge @LGRutledge]

I am incredibly heartbroken by the death of my dear friend Alice Stewart. Alice was a wonderful friend to me and never wavered in her love for others. She was one of the hardest working people I have ever known. Alice was a gracious and generous host, always inviting others to come fellowship with her and sweet lil Sammie. When I saw her a few weeks ago, we hugged goodbye and said, “Love you” to each other as we always do. I am blessed to have had her in my life and spend countless hours laughing, crying, strategizing, and supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. Nearly twenty years of friendship is just not long enough for this broken heart but I know I will hug my dear friend Alice again as my sister in Christ.
