...it didn't have a case before it.

Today the USSC issued a ruling that greatly reigns in the ability of Federal agencies to issues "rules" to "fill in the gaps" of "vague" federal statutes. This case did not involve the ATF, but the ATF has been the greatest abuser of this tactic.

Combined with federal bump-stock ruling a couple of weeks ago, this means that, for example, the ATF braced pistol stock "rule" is dead dead dead in the water. If Merrick Garland had any principles, he'd stop wasting tax dollars trying to save it immediately, but he's a communist piece of shit, so he'll keep going. But it is done.

Fuck you Merrick, and fuck the ATF.

Chevron was always a terrible precedent. Glad they finally overturned it. Only took 40yrs.

Chervon was created by Republicans. The Reagan administration wanted to bypass a Democrat controlled Congress. So, Chevron Deference was created in the courts as a way for the Executive to do what they wanted. And in typical Republican fashion, at no point did they think to themselves with the following:

"You know, this is actually a bad idea because at some point. The other side will be elected into office and this could be used against us."

Chevron Deference is the same as the PATRIOT Act and other expansions of government created by Republicans.
