This Week in Water for August 18, 2024

In this week’s episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Daniel Farber, a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, about Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a Supreme Court case decided earlier this summer that overturned decades of precedent set under a 1984 case that itself led to a legal principle, or doctrine, that people call the Chevron deference. The Chevron deference is a long-standing legal precedent that required courts to defer to the application of laws as interpreted by government agencies if the relevant statute was ambiguous and if the interpretation made by the agency was reasonable. Farber discusses the history of the Chevron deference, the legal arguments that the current Supreme Court justices asserted in the decision that overturned Chevron, and the implications of this decision for future environmental regulation and policymaking.

Implications of the Supreme Court Overturning the Chevron Decision, with Daniel Farber

Dennis Tubbergen hosts Karl Denninger on RLA Radio to discuss the implications of recent political and economic developments.

Denninger highlights the potential for the president to challenge government actions lacking statutory authority. They also discuss the challenges of addressing the U.S. budget deficit, particularly focusing on Medicare and Medicaid. Denninger criticizes the current healthcare system and its inefficiencies and expresses skepticism about achieving a balanced budget or significant productivity growth. The conversation also touches on the potential appointment of RFK Jr. to the Department of Health and Human Services and the broader economic implications of deficit spending and inflation.
