Well maybe now congress will actually do its job and pass laws.

that's a HUGE maybe. congress is dysfunctional and inefficient and unwieldy. it is constantly mired in petty politics, mindless bickering, and perpetual gridlock. Really smart leaving the day-to-day regulations that govern the nation up to them! Then, when they eventually do get around to passing oppressively narrow regulations y'all will complain about how impossible it is to remove said regulations.

#i've seen retarded libertarians celebrate this as some kind of blow against statism and “big government”#but this does nothing to change the power of the state #all it does is shift power from one branch to the other branches #from the executive to the judicial and legislative branches #the executive is arguably the most effective branch of government #and is at least somewhat democratic #but you've taken power from it and gave it too the least democratic institution (judicial) and the least effective (legislative)#the worst of both worlds! lmao #but i get why libertarians would celebrate this because they celebrate dysfunctional government #because dysfunctional government gives private corporations more room to exploit the nation #and yeah again i know that congress could still codify chevron or they could still delegate broad rulemaking authority and so on #but will they? that's the question
