National Marine Fisheries Service&nbsp;just decided to start doing it in 2013.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Why did they think they could away with just charging people without any legal authorization?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Because in 1984, in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the &#8220;experts&#8221; in their field, and the courts should just defer to their &#8220;interpretation&#8221; of the law.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to &#8220;interpret&#8221; laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It was called Chevron Deference, and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s how the OHSA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab, or be fired.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">No law gave them that authority, they just made it up.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s how the ATF was able to decide a piece of plastic was a &#8220;machine gun&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s how the NCRS was able to decide that a small puddle was a &#8220;protected wetlands&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air, and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them, because they were the &#8220;experts&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Imagine if your local police could just arrest you, for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you&#8217;d actually committed a crime or not. Just off to jail you go.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">That&#8217;s what Chevron Deference was.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Thankfully, it&#8217;s now gone.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We haven&#8217;t even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used, for years to come, to roll back federal agencies, and we&#8217;ll all be better of for it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">And that&#8217;s why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br id=\"lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature\"><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);\">WordPress\u2019d from my personal iPhone,&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:650-283-8008\" dir=\"ltr\" x-apple-data-detectors=\"true\" x-apple-data-detectors-type=\"telephone\" x-apple-data-detectors-result=\"1\">650-283-8008<\/a>, number that&nbsp;Steve Jobs texted me on<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><font color=\"#000000\"><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);\">https:\/\/www.YouTube.com\/watch?v=ejeIz4EhoJ0<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Spike Cohen \u2066\u202a@RealSpikeCohen\u202c\u2069 For those who don&#8217;t understand what Chevron Deference is, and why SCOTUS ended it, here&#8217;s the long and short of it: A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business, because they couldn&#8217;t afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the pic.twitter.com\/Xg3Zp8rchD &nbsp; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27797\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
