So, the left is just taking loss after loss. First, their political candidate for President looks like a cartoon character at the National Presidential Debate leading to Democratic party leaders scrambling to figure out what they are going to do to defeat Donald Trump. The next day, their jewel of Chevron Deference is struck down by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision. For those that are unfamiliar Chevron Deference is the ability for the Executive Branch of Government to write and modify laws via government agencies.

For a 5th grader example, the Legislative Branch is responsible for writing law. The Executive Branch and its' cabinet/regulatory agencies are charged with implementing those laws. So, lets say the Congress passes an ambiguous law that says, "The Federal Government is charged with building a new Post Office in Tupelo Mississippi." The Executive branch hands to the law to the US Postal Service to fill in the all of the gaps such as how big it will be, where will it built exactly, is it going to be brick or concrete, how many bathrooms will there be etc.... Unfortunately, Presidents in the past (Biden and Obama, Bush even) were notorious for taking that law filling in the gaps and then making ridiculous additions that were never intended to be a part of the law. So, the Biden regulatory agencies would then take the Law that states, "The Federal Government is charged with building a new Post Office in Tupelo Mississippi" and will then use the law to also build a hospital, and then determine that half of the employees must be members of the LGBT community, and that undocumented migrants can't be arrested and removed from the City, and for environmental reasons any energy producers within a 100 mile radius of the new Post Office would have an additional carbon tax of 25% etc.....

This ruling allows a judge to evaluate the regulatory agencies decisions and make a judgement as to whether or not it is applicable to the instruction of the law. This is also good in that it forces Congress to do a better job with their bill writing, and not leave so many ambiguities.
