John,
The recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Chevron deference seriously threatens our democracy.
For 40 years, this doctrine allowed federal agencies to interpret and enforce laws, ensuring that experts had the final say in regulatory matters.
Now, that power has been taken away and given to unelected judges, heavily influenced by special interests.
With this decision, regulatory agencies will have less authority to enforce laws that protect our environment, public health, and safety. Literally every regulation for the common good is now at risk of being rolled back.
It is open season for special interests, who view the end of Chevron deference as their entry to undo so many of the protections that make our lives safer and healthier.
