Last week, a federal appeals court overturned a Biden administration rule governing dishwashers.
They could mark the beginning of the end of the bloated, unaccountable, extra-constitutional "Administrative state" - which today imposes $2 trillion in costs on businesses and consumers and every day eats away at our freedom.
It's a welcome sign that the judicial branch may finally be stepping in to put an end to the virtually limitless power federal regulators routinely exercise.
The court noted that Biden's rule was "Arbitrary and capricious," and added that it's unclear that the Department of Energy, which issued the regulations, even has the authority to regulate water use - which the rules do.
We can only hope that courts toss out the endless stream of other Biden rules that target gas stoves, internal-combustion engines, and a host of other consumer products.
The Supreme Court could use this case to rescind what's known as the "Chevron deference." In a 1984 ruling, the Court basically said that courts will uphold whatever regulators decide a law means where the law doesn't specifically spell out what regulators can or can't do.
