Justice Clarence Thomas is, in my opinion, our greatest living American. That’s why, when the Chevron overruling came down from our Supreme Court, I went straight to his concurring opinion. I was not disappointed. I offer it below minus the distracting citations and in shorter paragraphs to emphasize the wisdom expressed.
Of all the issues that have come before the Court in the last ten-twenty years Chevron deference has been the one I have mostly closely watched. This decision can extend to so many other alphabet agencies. Frankly, Congress created this mess because they were lazy and the Obama and Biden administrations have taken most advantage of this. I hope the spillover will be swift.
Thomas' Memoir "My Grandfather's Son" is an excellent read.
Indeed!
