Overturning Chevron is going to usher in an era where self-taught judicial expertise in technical areas such as chemistry, statistics, mechanical engineering, biology, geomorphology, epidemiology, mathematics, and many other fields will once more be able to shine forth as it did in the Middle Ages.
With the greatest possible respect I am sorry to say that at this time I have less than no interest in Medievalists loyally popping up to tell me a lot of things in the Middle Ages were great actually
But I thought you valued expertise, no? And despaired at uninformed people making judgements about things they don’t understand?
Perhaps I misunderstood.
Perhaps you did.
Look mate, I have no interest in sniping with you, a Surprised Eel Historian. I now regret assuming a typical reader would see my original remark not, in the main, as really about the Middle Ages, but more as what you might call an exasperated rhetorical fling at recent events.
Government by the people kicked out of the SCA. Great.
On the other hand, the idea of fighting Pennsic for control of the Supreme Court has some appeal.
But surely it will be worse than this? Being self taught speaks to some curiosity.
What the court has done is not encourage jurists to become self taught generalists. It has encouraged narrow minded incurious zealots to impose their will. "The law is everything", not "everything is the law".
