Well get used to it as the Supreme Court has begun to lay down the precedent needed to completely do away with Chevron deference.

In other words, they're doing away with the authority that gives federal regulatory agencies their purview to set regulations. You know, the public servants who have dedicated their lives/educations/careers/etc. to a field of study?

They're replacing those decisions with ones made by judges and politicians.

I much prefer "bureaucrats" (literally just another word for those public servants) make those decisions rather than billionaires and politicians.

That's precisely what experts are for.

Yes. The bureaucrats are the experts. They're the same people.

Not necessarily. Its just about impossible to fire someone from a government job, even if they've demonstrated incompetence and lack of expertise.

I've seen plenty walked out the door in my days off working my field in government. At the bargaining level it is hard for an employee to be fired but not impossible and it takes repeat offenses but this is just my own experience in my field. The worst that could happen is someone gets is someone gets information they were not suppose to (UNAX). They handle that on a case by case basis. You don't want a worker that can be fired at the drop of a hat when working for the public.
