THE REVOLUTION NEVER ENDS

SUPREME COURT CHEVRON CASE HUGE IMPACT

July 4, 2024

What does it mean to be a Conservative vs.a Progressive in 2024? Conservatives believe the purpose of government is to protect, defend, and expand human liberty and freedom by Conserving the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Progressives want to move beyond the constraints of constitutional rights so they can change America into a socialist utopia. We give the government power through our police and military to protect our freedom, not redistribute our money, and certainly not for some current concept of social justice.
The United States was formed as a constitutional republic, not a democracy. What makes America Great, is not government power, its people power. Our founders just fought a bloody war with an unelected king and his unelected bureaucrats.

The Constitution is a very complex and brilliant document. Its’ complexity ensures our liberty. It was so complex that the states refused to support it without the Bill of Rights written in such simple, straight-forward language that could not be misconstrued.

Nothing in the Constitution gives unelected government bureaucrats absolute power over businesses and our way of life. Nothing. The government’s version of “because I said so” doesn’t fly anymore. The people have the absolute right to challenge any law and any rule in a court. That is real people power.

Dems in the 70’s used the U.S. Supreme Court to steal our rights when they passed the Chevron Decision. The Chevron Decision gave unelected government bureaucrats the power to write regulations, claiming the laws Congress passed needed their expert interpretations. And, that the courts should defer their oversight to those unelected government bureaucrats. In other words, business had no power to challenge those bureaucrats’ power or interpretation, including the massive fines and penalties they levied.

Well, the Trump Court just reversed that half-century-old wrong.

Justice Neil Gorsuch’s concurring opinion in which he emphasized that

“[t]oday, the Court places a tombstone on Chevron no one can miss. In doing so, the Court returns judges to interpretative rules that have guided federal courts since the Nation’s founding.” He sought to downplay the impact of Friday’s ruling, contending that “all today’s decision means is that, going forward, federal courts will do exactly as this Court has since 2016, exactly as it did before the mid-1980s, and exactly as it had done since the founding: resolve cases and controversies without any systemic bias in the government’s favor.”

On this 4th of July we celebrate this week’s Supreme Court Decision which honors the founders and the greatest governing document in the history of the world. The Constitution’s government restraint was just reconstituted in our never ending American Revolution.
