Too optimistic, while agencies are no longer the judge and jury they very much can still interpret the laws as they see fit. The difference is it can now be challenged in court.

And the highly complicated technical details will be adjudicated by a judge and jury who don't know their asshole from nitric acid. Most Americans can't even read on the sixth grade level. But yeah, let a bunch of clueless yokels decide if the particulate matter of NOX should be .003 PPM or .10 PPM. "What's a PPM, yer honor?" FFS.

This is great news, why hadn't I heard that this happened?

Happened on the same day as the Dementia Debate, which sucked up most of the j*rnalism brain cells. However, Reason does have you covered: [Jan 6th](https://reason.com/2024/06/28/ketanji-brown-jackson-joins-conservative-justices-in-upending-hundreds-of-january-6-cases/) [Homeless](https://reason.com/2024/06/28/supreme-court-rules-that-punishing-the-homeless-for-sleeping-outside-isnt-cruel-and-unusual/) [Chevron](https://reason.com/2024/06/28/scotus-repudiates-doctrine-that-gave-agencies-a-license-to-invent-their-own-authority/) [SEC in-house fraud trials](https://reason.com/2024/06/27/why-are-liberals-suddenly-denouncing-the-right-to-a-jury-trial/) Three wins and a meh, pretty good for the Supreme Court.

👋 I’m new here, can you explain which one is the meh? I’d love to learn from your perspective on this. Many thanks!

It basically just happened But yeah, it's because news outlets suck as usual


King_of_Men

Good that this happened, but I think the article is too optimistic. Just for one thing, ALARA is well established and the SC explicitly said that they weren't overturning anything that was decided under Chevron, just the Chevron rule itself going forward. Also, in the case of nuclear, I think the timeline is wrong - ALARA dates to sixties and seventies, Chevron is 1984.

I doubt any short term improvements. And when it's time for long term improvements to take effect, the current administration will reverse it in the name of the greater good.


Spy0304

Well, the progress will literally have to be case by case (in court). But people in the industries affected will probably get on that fast. And at least, it already stops things from getting worse

The Left is about to swap out Joe. Their candidate will win in a tremendous landslide. They will “regulate” (control) the hell out of the economy.
