Will Congress start doing its Job? Chevron Deference vs Rule of Lenity fundamental battle for America

[OrangeTuono]

Here is the $64,000 question. Will Congress step up and become the legislative law making branch of the Federal government again?
SCOTUS is destroying government Administration over reach for us right now. But will Congress step up?

The battle is over "Chevron Deference" - giving government agencies free license to fill any gaps not explicitly covered by legislation - vs "Rule of Lenity" where the government must apply the most favorable interpretation to the individual Citizen.

When overreaching, Chevron Deference results in a Soviet style Administrative Class waging lawfare on the Citizens.
Rule of Lenity fundamentally forces the Legislature to pass any laws (vs Department "rules") that impede/impact Citizens.

If the truth were known those in Congress prefer government bureaucrats make policy. Gives the politicians cover for their Parties poor policies.

That is exactly why the Republicans don't do everything they can to meet their promises.
That is exactly why the Democrats try to erode the US Constitution instead of aiming to amend.
They might be held accountable and lose an election.
