Rep. Bryan Steil sees chance for Congress to assert itself in 'post Chevron world'

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., emphasized the importance of having Congress understand its function in a "post Chevron world."

"The conservative Supreme Court has given Congress a lifeline to reestablish itself as the Article One [of the Constitution] authority that the Founding Fathers intended," Steil said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

Last month, the Supreme Court overturned the "Chevron decision" that granted broad regulatory power to federal agencies. The Chevron decision was made in 1984 and stated that federal agencies could fill in details where laws were not clear. 

"What we need to do is break down and slow down the administrative state that's running roughshod over our economy," Steil said. "Just in the past three and a half years, the Biden administration has passed over a trillion dollars worth of regulations."

Steil held a hearing on Tuesday about how Congress could start restructuring and making laws without agency interference. 

"We need to think about how we restructure Congress to reestablish... we the people have authority over the laws that are being created in the United States," he said.
