What I heard was Neil M. Gorsuch repeatedly interrupt the lawyer representing these agencies on behalf of the government. Almost to the point of argument. Every time the lawyer spoke he interrupted like most conservatives do when someone else is speaking. It's not looking good.
Can you imagine what will happen if the 'Chevron Doctrine' goes away? The government oversight will become powerless. Some are against regulations, but imagine a country without any!
It seems just about every action imaginable ends up with judges making the final calls. Can you imagine what a nightmare it would be if judges ran almost every thing in this country? We're almost there folks. This is getting way out of hand.
I do understand there is a somewhat large group ultra conservatives out there today who'd like to see the government stripped to it's bare bones (including the revenue service). Like a game of Jenga blocks one by one this court is undoing even it's own prior decisions. It may not be long before our system crumbles under these highly partisan members of this supreme court. Add to that a congress who can't even get out of their own way.
During his confirmation hearing in 2017 Neil M. Gorsuch was directly asked about the Chevron Doctrine by Senator Orrin Hatch (R). Gorsuch made it very clear he stood against it.
