DoomsdaysCW<p>OpEd: Obama’s power grab</p><p>Executive order expands presidential prerogative</p><p>By Jeffrey T. Kuhner - The Washington Times - Thursday, March 22, 2012 </p><p>&quot;President Obama has given himself the powers to declare <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MartialLaw</span></a> - especially in the event of a war with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iran" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Iran</span></a>. It is a sweeping <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PowerGrab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PowerGrab</span></a> that should worry every American.</p><p>&quot;On March 16, the White House released an executive order, &#39;National Defense Resources Preparedness.&#39; The document is stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution. It states that, in case of a war or national emergency, the federal government has the authority to take over almost every aspect of American society. Food, livestock, farming equipment, manufacturing, industry, energy, transportation, hospitals, health care facilities, water resources, defense and construction - all of it could fall under the full control of Mr. Obama. The order empowers the president to dispense these vast resources as he sees fit during a national crisis.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/22/obamas-power-grab/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtontimes.com/news/2012/</span><span class="invisible">mar/22/obamas-power-grab/</span></a></p><p>Obama&#39;s Executive Order:<br /><a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/t</span><span class="invisible">he-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness</span></a></p>

Even when Capitol Hill is not mired in deep dysfunction, the speed at which Congress and the courts operate no longer seems suitable for modern life. Both industry and ordinary people look to the administrative state, rather than legislators, for an immediate answer to their problems. And since 1984, the administrative state largely ran on one Supreme Court precedent: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChevronUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ChevronUSA</span></a>, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NRDC</span></a>). </p><p>&quot;That decision has now been overturned. Admin law is not always interesting, but the simple fact is when it comes to the day-to-day, agencies are the most impactful part of the federal government. No single policy writer at The Verge can fully articulate the impact of Friday’s Supreme Court decision and how profound its effects will be. The administrative state touches everything around us: net neutrality, climate change, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CleanAir</span></a> and water, and what scant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConsumerProtections" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ConsumerProtections</span></a> we have. </p><p>&quot;While the practice had been in place for decades before, it came to be known as Chevron deference after a 1984 case: Chevron v. NRDC. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RonaldReagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RonaldReagan</span></a> administration’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>industry</span></a>-friendly Environmental Protection Agency to stick with a lax interpretation of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanAirAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CleanAirAct</span></a>.</p><p>&quot;Over the years, Chevron deference has enabled federal agencies to tackle all sorts of issues that legislators have yet to cover — from addressing greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change to regulating broadband access. As the conservative legal movement to disempower the administrative state grew, Chevron deference became — in certain circles — shorthand for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GovernmentOverreach" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GovernmentOverreach</span></a>.</p><p>&quot;Before its decision to overturn Chevron, the Supreme Court had already dealt a blow to federal agencies’ regulatory authority by strengthening the &#39;major questions&#39; doctrine in its 2022 decision in West Virginia v. EPA. According to the major questions doctrine, a federal agency shouldn’t have the leeway to craft regulation on an issue of major national significance if Congress hasn’t explicitly allowed it to do so in legislation. </p><p>&quot;The same bloc of six <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservative" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>conservative</span></a> justices that formed the majority in West Virginia v. EPA also overturned the longstanding precedent of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RoeVsWade" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RoeVsWade</span></a> — an even older case than Chevron — in the same month. When two cases calling for an end to Chevron deference worked their way up to the Supreme Court this year, the writing was on the wall — and once again, those same six justices overturned Chevron. </p><p>Impacts:<br />- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NetNeutrality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NetNeutrality</span></a> <br />- The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>environment</span></a> and efforts to fight <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a><br />- Regulating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <br />- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TechWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TechWorkers</span></a> on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/visas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>visas</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>immigration</span></a> law <br />- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Labor</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkersRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorkersRights</span></a><br />- The right to repair, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>copyright</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatentLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PatentLaw</span></a>, and the Apple Watch ban</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/24188365/chevron-scotus-net-neutrality-dmca-visa-fcc-ftc-epa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/24188365/chevron-</span><span class="invisible">scotus-net-neutrality-dmca-visa-fcc-ftc-epa</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DMCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DMCA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chevron" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Chevron</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PowerGrab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PowerGrab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CorporateFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChevronDeference" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ChevronDeference</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanWaterAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CleanWaterAct</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScotusIsCorrupt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ScotusIsCorrupt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScrotusSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ScrotusSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachJusticeThomas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ImpeachJusticeThomas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImpeachJusticeAlito" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ImpeachJusticeAlito</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KochBrothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KochBrothers</span></a></p>
