This a follow up on a January 2024 post re: SCOTUS to rule on 'Chevron' [see below]. Now June 2024 SCOTUS has handed down their ruling. The SCOTUS decision [6-3] was to overturn the "Chevron deference'. What this means has far reaching implications. Essentially they have in fact just granted to themselves authoritarian power - as well lower court federal judges. Power over and above even the executive branch i.e. the White House and Congress, overriding even the U.S. Constitution. Appointed judges arbitrarily deciding legal matters and making policies according to their own whims with no oversight. There is a name for these: 'king'. That is exactly how things now stand in the 2024 United States Of Amerika. Literally now ruled by 'kings' and 'queens'.

The Supreme Court Ends Chevron Deference—What Now?
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling today in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo dealt a severe blow to the ability of federal agencies to do their jobs by ending the 40-year-old precedent of “Chevron deference.” Instead of deferring to the expertise of agencies on how to interpret ambiguous language in laws pertaining to their work, federal judges now have the power to decide what a law means for themselves. As a result, despite not being accountable to the people, judges will now be able to expand their role into the realm of policymaking.
“In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue—no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden—involving the meaning of regulatory law,” wrote Justice Elena Kagan in her dissent from the ruling. “As if it did not have enough on its plate, the majority turns itself into the country’s administrative czar.”
