For all the talk of a politicized Supreme Court, I'm not so sure that the net result has been to empower authoritarianism, even if it limits their personal liability to later prosecution. Shutting down Chevron principal empowers the Legislature, it seems to me.

Well, they allowed kings to run the nation, that's scary.

But Chevron is about a different project. It's ambition is to fulfill the Federalist Society fantasy of de-governance.

What comes from that isn't direct authoritarianism by government. It's unchecked corporate greed control & influence, with a government maimed and without ability to respond or act. Making rulemaking & regulation impossible, preventing defense of consumers, is the plan for Federalist Society's unchecked economic totalitarianism.

Maybe perhaps possibly we see a legislature better able to wield and use power, after this redefinition of government. But with the shape of the Senate favoring small states >> 10x big states, it seems unlikely that the will to govern will finally get upper hand over the will to de-govern.

Removing Chevron empowers the judiciary, not the legislature. Major questions doctrine and some of the recent cases around it (student loans) have empowered legislature over executive.
