SCOTUS tells ATF they can rewrite the law

When a law needs to be updated, who has the authority to do so? You might think that it’s Congress, but the Supreme Court just told the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that it’s perfectly okay for them to rewrite the law, and Congress doesn’t need to be involved. What happens to America when the executive and judicial branches collude to take legislative power away from Congress?

The law grants the Attorney General, not the ATF, the power to write regulations to fulfill the law, and nowhere that I’m aware of, does the law grant others the right to redefine terms defined in the law.

Then there’s the point made by Justice Thomas. The court that seems so concerned with precedent ignored the precedent it had established in Garland v. Cargill in the previous term, a precedent to follow the law as written by Congress, and now decides it’s perfectly fine for unelected bureaucrats to rewrite federal law. Not only did the court get it wrong when it decided this case, but it also completely inverted the legal structure of the federal government.
