> On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court struck down a legal principle known as the Chevron Doctrine (or Deference). This doctrine dates to a 1984 Supreme Court ruling (Chevron v Natural Resources Defense Council) that allows federal agencies to use their own expertise to interpret ambiguities in the law.
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress struck down the legal principle known as the Divine Right of Kings. This doctrine dates to 3300 BC and allows the King to use his wisdom and expertise to make the law.
This loss of this principle will make creating and enforcing rules on people much harder as there will no longer just be a single person who must be convinced but will often involve long negotiations between different factions of the governed to obtain their consent.

- torstenvl 2y agoIt is an unassailable fact that the New Deal and Great Society initiatives did not require Chevron deference. It is odiously brazen to claim otherwise. No honest person can credit Chevron for the existence of the administrative state, because the administrative state was at its height before Chevron was ever decided.
