Inside the Supreme Court argument asking if the justices should crown themselves kings and queens
Four justices appeared absolutely determined, on Wednesday, to overrule one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions in the Court’s entire history .. The open question is whether the Court’s four most strident opponents of this foundational ruling can find a fifth vote.
Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council (1984) is arguably [fundamentally] important to the development of federal administrative law — an often technical area of the law, but one that touches on literally every single aspect of American life.. Chevron is a foundational decision, which places strict limits on unelected federal judges’ ability to make policy decisions for the entire nation.
Congress routinely passes laws that delegate policymaking authority to a federal agency [rather than appointed judges*].
Overruling Chevron .. would transfer a simply astounding amount of power to the justices themselves. While there are many federal statutes delegating many policy decisions to agencies, that power is spread across 15 different Cabinet departments and an array of other independent agencies. So no particular agency or agency leader has authority over matters that do not fall within their area of expertise.
In a world without Chevron, by contrast, the Supreme Court will have the final word over all policy questions that previously were made by agencies. And, unlike the president, none of the justices are elected. And all of them serve for life.
*The justices, in other words, could effectively appoint themselves kings and queens in the Loper Bright and Relentless cases. The fundamental question raised in both cases is whether nine unelected lawyers, all of whom have life tenure, should be placed in charge of virtually every policymaking decision made by the executive branch of government.

re: "astounding power ..unelected ..life tenure"
SCOTUS to make themselves totalitarian dictators? Apparently this is what it comes down to with regard to this 'Chevron' case currently being argued before SCOTUS. Depending on whether they keep the 'Chevron' law as is, or overrule it. If they overrule it, they effectively grant themselves absolute power affecting "literally every single aspect of American life" [quote above article]. And then retaining that power for life.
The usual drama is attached to this event with four of nine SCOTUS appointees said to be on board to throw Chevron out and rule as 'kings and queens', with three arguing to keep it unchanged. The drama surrounds the remaining two who are said to be undecided. Only need one to join the four saying 'throw-it-out' to turn Amerika into a defacto dictatorship. Reportedly a secret vote is scheduled for tomorrow Friday [1-19-24 (911?)], but the final ruling is not expected for a few months. So, not too much can be said at this point - it's a wait and see..
At any rate - whether this goes thru or not - Hunger Games New Amerika [link] is the only goal for the USA - that agenda is known - under the planned Tikkun Olam would-be Zio-Kingdom-Kome Antichrist Global dictatorship [link] - whatever means they ultimately use to try to pull it off - on their way to Armageddon [Rev. 16:1,16].. fyi [Chevron know about it]
