Bureaucrats don’t get to make laws. Lawmakers make laws. Bureaucrats are supposed to enforce laws as lawmakers intended: not more, not less. Courts rule when a law is unclear. The power of federal regulators to decide what they want federal law to mean has been limited, per several reports on case of Loper Bright Enterprises vs. Raimondo, which has upended decades of what is known as the Chevron deference. That’s near the essence of what the Loper ruling means. Another way to look at the Loper ruling is that the U.S. Constitution’s limits on federal governmental power as exercised by bureaucrats has apparently been limited. The ruling has clear and significant implications for manufactured housing, as will be explored in Part II of this report. As manufactured home industry pros read the responses to the tweet (X-post) on the Loper decision posted below that overturned decades of Chevron Deference,” the meaning of this case for manufactured housing and smaller businesses or entrepreneurs more broadly may begin to come into focus. Once more, this ruling will vindicate the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) and MHProNews’ reporting of issues of importance to our profession.
I needed to understand what the Chevron doctrine was to fully grasp the significance of this ruling.
A definite win for the little guy and Americans, in general.https://t.co/7zXe3AJSbA

The defenses of Chevron were always so revealing. Here’s a Columbia law professor (Merrill) stating that Chevron was important because these agencies make up so many zillions of rules to shackle the private sector, the courts can’t possibly adjudicate them all! pic.twitter.com/WQnmldzjRd

In simple terms, this Supreme Court ruling means that courts must use their own judgment when deciding if a government agency is acting within its legal authority. They cannot simply agree with an agency’s interpretation of a law just because the law is unclear. The previous…

Supreme Court Throws Back ‘Chevron Deference’ in Ruling on Fishermen’s Case Against Government
Jarrett Stepman | June 28, 2024
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of commercial fisherman who challenged the U.S. government’s imposition of charges for onboard federal inspections. The case deals a massive blow to the power of federal agencies.
BREAKING: In a major blow to the unelected administrative state, the Supreme Court has overruled the Chevron doctrine, which required courts to defer to the legal interpretations of unelected bureaucrats.

Commercial fishermen in New Jersey initiated the case, Loper Bright Enterprises vs. Raimondo. The fishermen argued that they were unjustly charged by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2020 to pay for third-party, onboard monitors of their operations.
NOAA did this without Congress giving the agency authority to do so. The fishermen argued that the federal regulation violates Article 1 of the Constitution.
A majority of the Supreme Court agreed with the fishermen’s appeal.
The Supreme Court’s decision overturns so-called Chevron deference, a legal test that comes from a series of cases before the high court beginning with its unanimous 1984 decision in Chevron USA Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council.
The Chevron doctrine essentially meant that courts give deference to the expertise of the government’s administrative agencies in interpreting legislative statutes.
“Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion.
Robert argued that the Chevron deference was untimately unworkable under the Constitution.
“Chevron has proved to be fundamentally misguided,” Roberts wrote. “It reshaped judicial review of agency action without grappling with the [Administrative Procedures Act], the statute that lays out how such review works. And its flaws were apparent from the start, prompting the Court to revise its foundations and continually limit its application.”
Judicial originalists have argued that Chevron deference places too much unimpeded power in the hands of government agencies. The new ruling shifts more power back to courts and legislative bodies.
Heritage Foundation fellow Steve Bradbury wrote earlier this year that the Supreme Court’s unanimous Chevron decision 40 years ago was a reaction to overreach by lower courts.
“When it handed down its Chevron opinion in 1984, the Supreme Court was reacting with some exasperation to a persistent pattern of flawed judicial intervention by the lower courts, particularly the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the court that hears the greatest volume of challenges to agency actions,” Bradbury wrote.
Those who argued in favor of Chevron deference say that the courts are ill-equipped to understand technical policies promulgated by government agencies and therefore should defer to bureaucratic expertise.
Justice Elena Kagan wrote that Chevron deference, “has formed the backdrop against which Congress, courts, and agencies–as well as regulated parties and the public–all have operated for decades. It has been applied in thousands of judicial decisions. It has become part of the warp and woof of modern government, supporting regulatory efforts of all kinds.”

Part II – Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary
To further round out the understanding of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), two more items are useful.
1) According to the Associated Press (AP) on 6.28.2024.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday upended a 40-year-old decision [i.e.: Chevron deference] that made it easier for the federal government to regulate the environment, public health, workplace safety and consumer protections, delivering a far-reaching and potentially lucrative victory to business interests.
The court’s six conservative justices overturned the 1984 decision colloquially known as Chevron, long a target of conservatives who have been motivated as much by weakening the regulatory state as social issues including abortion. The liberal justices were in dissent.
The case was the conservative-dominated court’s clearest and boldest repudiation yet of what critics of regulation call the administrative state.
Billions of dollars are potentially at stake in challenges that could be spawned by the high court’s ruling. …”
2) On this date on the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) website there is no mention of Loper Bright nor of Chevron deference, per the search results by MHProNews using the MHI search tool.
3) By way of contrast, in a post by MHARR on May 2, 2023, that Washington, D.C. based trade group said the following.
MAY 2, 2023
FROM: MHARR
RE: SUPREME COURT CASE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY
ADVANCE MH PRODUCERS’ INTERESTS IN NATION’S CAPITAL
12) That regulations are seen as a potential ‘barrier for entry’ was touted by MHI member Triad Financial/ECN Capital recently, see that new report linked here.
13) To learn more see the related reports. Watch for an update on this ruling from MHARR, perhaps as soon as next week. Let’s see if these reports spark MHI into at least mentioning the Loper decision, and see what sort of spin they put on the Loper ruling, shall we?
