The Supreme Court is about to give Joe Biden a reality check on his overreach and power hungry agenda. This is their chance to put some limits on his ability to interpret the law however he sees fit. The court will be looking into two disputes related to commercial fishing, and in doing so, will be taking on the infamous Chevron doctrine, which has given federal agencies way too much power for way too long.
Conservatives have been sounding the alarm on the Chevron doctrine for years, calling it an unconstitutional monster. And they’re not wrong. This doctrine has allowed federal agencies to make up their own rules and regulations, without any real oversight or accountability. It’s basically been a free pass for the Biden administration and other progressive bureaucrats to push their agenda without having to worry about pesky things like the Constitution or the limits of their authority.
But the fishermen who are challenging these regulations aren’t backing down. They’re tired of being forced to pay for federal monitors on their vessels, especially when the cost is up to $700 a day. That’s a huge hit to their bottom line, and it’s all thanks to the overreach of the federal government. These fishermen have taken their case to the Supreme Court in the hopes of getting some much-needed relief from the burdensome regulations that are strangling their industry.
And it’s not just conservatives who are concerned about the Chevron doctrine. Even sitting conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has spoken out against it, calling it a power grab by the executive branch. He’s absolutely right. Giving federal agencies the authority to interpret the law is like letting a kid grade their own homework. It’s a clear conflict of interest and a recipe for disaster.
If the Supreme Court decides to overturn the Chevron doctrine, it would be a huge win for conservatives and a major blow to Biden’s overreaching agenda. It would put limits on his ability to wield executive power and force him to actually work with Congress to pass meaningful legislation. And that’s exactly why the Biden administration is freaking out about the possibility of the court ruling against them. They know that if Chevron is overturned, it will be a game-changer for future presidents as well.
So, here’s to hoping that the Supreme Court comes through and puts an end to Biden’s regulatory overreach. It’s time to reign in the power of the federal government and restore balance to our system of checks and balances. The fishermen, the conservatives, and the Constitution are all counting on it.
