re: #239 Big Beautiful Door

Don’t be too pleasantly surprised. Gorsuch is arguably setting up a doctrine to eliminate most of our environmental regulations.

Eh, I’m still somewhat skeptical of Chevron deference. In part because I’ve seen some cases where the administrative agencies have gone much too far (on example was that the defined “waters of the United States” to include puddles on private property), and in part because I do worry about the balance of power between the branches of government shifting too much to the executive (and not just because Trump is president). I don’t believe administrative agencies can’t pass/update regulations, but I do think the Courts sometimes give too much deference.
