In recent years, bureaucracy has become a reign of terror within the USA. Departments, agencies, and administrations have been increasingly used as tools to grab at essential civil liberties. The Amish farmer case, which I covered in depth on this channel, being one that highlights the extent to which bureaucracy (both state and federal) has taken hold on the food industry (if you missed any part of that coverage, I will link the playlist in the description of this video) Cases like that of the Amish Farmer leave many of us asking “how have administrations and unelected officials attained so much authority over private citizens and businesses?” The answer lies largely in what is known as the Chevron Deference, a legal doctrine that was the result of a 1984 Supreme court ruling. This doctrine mandated that judges within federal courts submit (or defer) an agency’s interpretation of silent or ambiguous statutes within a law, so long as the interpretation was deemed reasonable. Fortunately 12 weeks ago, after 40 years of precedence, the Chevron Deference was struck down by the Supreme Court of the United States as being unconstitutional and “fundamentally misguided”. However, 40 years of precedence was enough time to leave a serious mark on patterns and behaviors within US government. Behaviors that thankfully are no longer hedged by legal precedence, but behavior that must be reshaped by the demands of a properly-educated American public. This video is going to tell you what the Chevron Deference was for 40 years, how Chevron covertly funneled a dangerous level power to the executive branch, and finally, I am going to suggest what will be required in order to turn what is now (in my opinion) neutral ground into positive territory. I will also break down how this will impact food freedom cases like that of the Amish farmer.
