Constitutional Government After Chevron?
American Enterprise Institute
Dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world.
By mid-summer, the Supreme Court may have reformed or eliminated the doctrine that federal judges generally defer to agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutes, known as?Chevron?deference.?Adam White, one of our country’s top administrative law experts, explains?how our country’s constitutional adaptations would adapt to this dramatic doctrinal change.
The US government has now spent over half of the $39 billion in CHIPS Act incentives, which are designed to encourage new chip fabrication facilities in the US.?Economic historian, Russia expert, AEI scholar, and Chip War author Chris Miller showshow this money is already drastically reducing our dependence on geopolitically-vulnerable manufacturing in Asia.
A new AEI Report upends conventional wisdom of the size of that geopolitical challenge from China.?Defense expert Mackenzie Eaglen shows?that China’s military spending is three times larger than its publicly-released numbers, threatening to overmatch US resources in Asia.
The US cannot let the need to meet this growing threat from China obscure the ongoing danger Russia poses to the free world.?Leon Aron, who has been closely observing Russian politics for decades, explores?for?The Atlantic?the dangerous worldview and influence of Putin’s number two.
For years,?Matt Weidinger has been mining?the minutia of government safety net programs, revealing the wastefulness and failures of policies usually only the left pays attention to.

MARK J. GUAY, P.C. - We Build Great Teams?
10 个月I recommend reading the recent book "How to Interpret the Constitution" by Cass Sunstein. Originalism and textualism only are merely a ONE SIZE FITS ALL baseball cap, reductionist simplism. As the author states; "[t]he meaning of the Constitution must be made, not found . . " [p. 91] Deliberative democracy requires progress that goes beyond ascertaining what our “founding fathers” were thinking in the 1700s. The Constitution is about broad principles that rely on multiple fixed points that require democracy reinforcing judicial review. Practicing attorneys understand the significance of evolving facts and circumstances. Having the courts adjudicate agency regulations is like going to a GP doctor for a medical specialist problem. This is just 20th century anti-expertise ideology pushed by Adam White. The courts are getting clogged with issues that require special expertise. Hence, the Chevron doctrine. The irony is that the position taken here by AEI is “we want you to listen to our expert as to why we think non-expert courts should make these decisions as opposed to expert agencies. The AEI argument of “listen to our expert, not yours” is totally ironical politics, not law.

Domestic threats to national security include egotistical, greedy, opportunistic corporations, agencies, and politicians, who strategically induce destabilization to generate a payoff for their solution.
