As we put Halloween behind us and begin the thawing of Mariah Carey, we’re still sorting through the four scariest words for lawyers and the submissions for our costume contest. But it seems even beyond what we’ve gotten directly from readers, there were some scary (read: hopelessly nerdy) shenanigans out there.
I mean, what even is this?
The ghosts of Chevron deference are all the future people who will choke on some toxin that the court decides falls outside the EPA’s power to regulate. The natural and logical consequences of putting lawyers like this guy in charge of deciding what to regulate.
But full credit to this terrifying house of horrors.
Is that a giant, working gavel?
Absolute masterpiece.
