I have to admit I’m not totally sure about this “Chevron” thing; asking Congress to write laws to cover every little thing in a complicated world is just asking for trouble. Look how they’ve screwed up, well, everything. Now we’re going to make them do more? And at a time when they have done less than at any time in history? Seems odd.

I remember some Dope saying "Boom, there goes the administrative state". Wonderful news! No need for regulations of any kind; no need for consumer protections; no need for any kind of pesky environmental rules. Free for all! Libertarians wet dream come true.

Hey, you cannot have a large complex modern nation without a competent civil service. And the answer is definitely not to privatize everything unless you really want a corrupt oligarchy to rule.
