Once again, the right wing extremists look like they will overturn decades of precedent and give more power to the right wing donors that put them there.
What you need to know abt repeal of Chevron: a stealth assault on consumer protection, environment, our health, *literally everything.* We’re abt to cede countless vital decisions to #FedSoc, wrested from Congress, POTUS, or voter control. Upcoming SCOTUS ruling will wreak havoc. https://t.co/X5tB9XGRXI

In Loper arguments, Kavanaugh suggested the danger of the Chevron precedent is “aggressive assertions of unilateral executive power.” Excuse me? Congressional Review Act? Appropriations process? Legislative committee oversight? Even impeachment? Oh, and judicial review under APA.
