You need to download the pdf to get the full text. I know many stackers are interested in this subject

Eventually, the courts will begin upholding regulatory initiatives under the new regime. Agencies will regain confidence in their ability to regulate (or deregulate). It may just take a while to get there.

From the PDF this reads like statist cope to me. Its acknowledging the paralysis of regulators, but somehow comes to the conclusion they'll adapt rather than having to constantly defend legacy regs that have this new path to being challenged.

So all the dissenting screech was for nothing because it'll be like it never happened?

It is depressing. The pdf is attempting a prediction from a few different perspectives. At least the agencies' all encompassing power has been interrupted, and it seems like the two sides of the aisle will be creating guardrails. Not perfect, but this permanent bureaucratic, unelected blob has probably lost some power for good. Overall, I agree that it's not a great prognosis.

What’s your view @siggy47?

I think agencies have too much discretion, but I also see how you wouldn’t want to overburden the courts either

In my view if we just had less regulations overall it wouldn’t be such an issue

So in my opinion and those who I work closely with in the House, we have come to the understanding that when we write legislation now we honestly just need to be more specific for the certain things that we really want done ie the core concepts. Since a lot of my legislation falls under the Department of Energy we have and will continue to leave the caveat that roughly says "or other departments or agencies the Secretary sees fit". Recently we in Congress have been sloppy writing legislation that was way too broad.

Post Chevon gives Congress a second chance to stop giving away all of its power. Departments and Agencies are not held to the same level as a Member even though in some cases Congress gave away their power with will say pollution regulation to the EPA and Congress gets blamed when it wasn't the current Congresses fault.

It is the current congresses fault if they do nothing about it.

So that is a question I think everyone you ask will have their own take on it. Given that this was handed down after the Congress had already started and Congress had its priorities and started introducing and passing bills I would say no. A lot of the legislation that came out before the decision and even up through July were bills that in some cases had been worked on for 2+ years to garner bipartisan support.

Now are there some things I feel that both sides could agree on easily and get passed yes but since it is an election year and all the races are close neither side wants to look like they gave in. After the election depending on the outcome we could see some of these bills come together and pass through but I am not sure they would be signed by Biden if they could in anyway effect his legacy.

Oh yeah, IMO agencies have way too much power and discretion. Cutting regulation would be a great start. I personally would want a drastically cut back state, but realistically, forcing congress and the courts to assume their proper function would be beneficial.
