Quick bump: Death of a doctrine

Quick bump: Death of a doctrine

Today, the United States Supreme Court overturned the 1984 decision that established the "Chevron doctrine". That's great news for the little guy.

The Chevron doctrine required courts, when evaluating disputes between citizens and government, to defer to government's interpretation of law when a law was ambiguous. In other words, government won by default. That is not how free societies operate. In free societies, citizens win by default.

After 40 years of bad jurisprudence that caused incalculable harm to ordinary Americans, the Chevron doctrine is finally dead. It is a much-deserved death.
