Who Let The DOGE Dogs Out?

The Supreme Court Ruling On Chevron Deference Did.

Dec 12, 2024

A vast majority of Americans are 100% in step with all that is DOGE, but many remain completely unaware of the historic ruling in the Supreme Court Case Loper Bright Enterprises ET AL v. Raimondo, Secretary Of Commerce, ET AL. This Supreme Court ruling gravely weakened all federal agencies. Of course, DOGE stands for the recently formed Department of Government Efficiency.

Supreme Court Throws Out Chevron Decision, Weakening Federal Regulators (6/30/24)

Here is a little more detail from Chief Justice John Roberts ruling on the Loper Bright case #22-451.

Roberts wrote that the act “requires courts to exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, and courts may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous; Chevron is overruled.” The court said that the Chevron doctrine cannot be reconciled with the APA and rejected the notion that “statutory ambiguities are implicit delegations to agencies.”

Prior to Chevron deference being overturned in late June of 2024, it guaranteed “systematic bias” in favor of whichever political party held executive power. These are the descriptive words of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, not ours.

Chevron deference basically created a “tug of war” like, power struggle, if you will, at the election booth. Whichever political party won, it would determine which direction each “federal” agency would go in. Simply put, this struggle for “power,” real or perceived, has been an exhausting exercise for Americans ever since Chevron doctrine became law in 1984.

BTW, isn’t there a relatively popular book entitled “1984” by George Orwell?

With this ruling that was handed down in late June of 2024, Chief Justice John Roberts overruled the 1984 case of Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council. With Supreme Court case #22-451, it was clearly articulated that Chevron doctrine had “allowed agencies to change course even when Congress had given them no power to do so.” Chevron doctrine often usurped the arm of government tasked with enacting laws, and basically led to an invisible 4th branch of government.

As of 6/28/24, that is no longer the case. The 4th branch of government was completely disarmed when this ruling was made.

While Chevron doctrine was considered a standard of law up until 6/28/24, ruling over this land for the past 40 years, courts were oftentimes required to refer to “permissible” agency interpretations of the statutes those same agencies administered. More plainly stated, the courts were required to adhere to whatever the agency deemed appropriate. Even more plainly stated, the tail was wagging the dog. Federal agencies basically had a license to steal.

And stated even more bluntly, Chevron deference undermined the Constitution -constantly. It allowed federal agencies to run roughshod on the American people.

Five months after this Supreme Court ruling, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) emerges.

Lots of people are quite excited, while many are rather perplexed, by Trump’s recent appointments of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to the DOGE. These two men are seen as rabid dogs, being cut loose by the mean and vicious dictator Trump, to unleash his fury on these poor, defenseless federal agencies.

This depiction is the height of absurdity and is mired in raw stupidity. Trump is not launching some sort of attack on these federal agencies. He is simply equipping a few folks to start asking each “federal” agency some difficult questions.

With Chevron doctrine no longer applicable under the law, what power do these “federal agencies” really have? Without a license in hand to rape and pillage the American people, won’t many of these “federal” agencies simply go away on their own? Are Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy really even needed? Standing on its own, isn’t the Supreme Court ruling overturning Chevron enough to wreak havoc on nearly every “federal” agency? Think about it.

The Federal Reserve is not even federal.

The CDC has no federal standing and is really nothing more than a vaccine company.

And the list goes on and on.

Who let the DOGE dogs out? The Supreme Court ruling On Chevron Deference quite literally released the hounds, so to speak. When this case was overturned by the Supreme Court on 6/28/24, nearly every existing “federal” agency became irrelevant and powerless.

And just to refresh, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed with Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent of the Chevron ruling made by Chief Justice John Roberts. Justice Kagan argued that this court ruling would result in a “jolt to the legal system.”

Supreme Court strikes down Chevron, curtailing power of federal agencies (6/28/24)

When the Supreme Court first issued its decision in the Chevron case more than 40 years ago, the decision was not necessarily regarded as a particularly consequential one. But in the years since then, it became one of the most important rulings on federal administrative law, cited by federal courts more than 18,000 times.

Think about that for a minute. Chevron deference supported other federal court rulings more than 18,000 different times in just 40 years. What happens to the thousands of court rulings made earlier now that Chevron has been overturned? Will case upon case be revisited and/or overturned? The boomerang effect of this Chevron ruling from 6/28/24 will be mind blowing. This case ruling is way more than just a “jolt to the legal system.” This case ruling is more like a defibrillator being applied over and over to a lifeless corpse, that is the legal system.

Electrical cardioversion is done with a device that gives off an electrical shock to the heart to change the rhythm back to normal.

Doesn’t that sound good? Wouldn’t it be nice to see our nation’s law and order “rhythm” turn back to normal?

It certainly looks like Justice Kagan’s dissenting comments were spot on! This Supreme Court ruling on Chevron will be quite a “jolt” to the ENTIRE legal system.

However, let’s keep our heads screwed on straight in the weeks ahead, especially with all of the hype surrounding DOGE and the special attention being given to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

The controlled demolition or dismantling of the many “federal” agencies in Washington DC will not go down in recorded US history as the doing of Trump’s tyrannical rule or the doing of a few entrepreneurial minded men like Musk and Ramaswamy. It will go down as the doing of the Supreme Court.

This Chevron deference court ruling is exactly what Trump called it. It is/was a BIG WIN FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY!
