The podcast discusses the recent Supreme Court case that could overturn the 'Chevron Deference', a precedent that allows federal agencies to act authoritatively upon ambiguous laws. It explores the rise of the administrative state in Germany and its influence on the US government. The discussion also focuses on the growth of federal agencies and Congress's avoidance of responsibility, resulting in an unelected and unaccountable fourth branch of government. The podcast further delves into the potential overruling of Chevron deference, which could shift power in the administrative state. Lastly, it examines the 50-year impact of the Endangered Species Act and the controversies surrounding its effectiveness and federal overreach.
