We simply couldn’t cover all breaking stories last Saturday, so I’m back to keep you in the loop and update you on how recent events impact our movement.
Last week, my colleague Rep. Thomas Massie tragically lost his wife of 35 years, Rhonda. Scott and I extend our sincere sympathy to Rep. Massie and his family during this inconceivable time.
In what was a monumental win for limited government and a blow to the unending bureaucratic state, the Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine. Here’s what that means: Prior to this decision, courts deferred to a federal agency’s interpretation of unclear statutes. This precedent empowered unelected bureaucrats to make decisions beyond the scope of laws set forth by Congress. That meant any time a new administration came to power, we got a massive overhaul of laws affecting every aspect of our economy. This created unrelenting compliance costs and confusing directives from federal agencies.
The Founding Fathers created three branches of government to carry out the will of the people — not four. The decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine helps restore the proper balance of power between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. It’s a major win for everyday Americans and helps rein in the unchecked power of the federal bureaucracy.
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that President Trump and all presidents enjoy a degree of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. This is a major set back to radical Democrats, who have weaponized the justice system to prosecute President Trump for the events surrounding and succeeding the 2020 election. Individuals who Democrat prosecutors were using to testify against the President no longer can—a big win for MAGA. But here’s the catch: The Georgia case still allows for the prosecution of President Trump. However, this decision simply blows holes in the Democrats’ sham attempts to tie him to some criminal conspiracy to overturn the election. With this case in disarray, President Trump can spend less time fighting ridiculous battles in court and focus on beating Joe Biden and the radical Left at the ballot box.
Finally, I’m pleased to announce that House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is returning to Minnesota! He will be joining Rep. Brad Finstad and I in support of our re-election campaigns.
