Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 42 other organizations and individuals calling on the Supreme Court to pare back the power of unelected bureaucrats and restore the President’s constitutional authority over the Executive Branch. AAF and its fellow amici filed an amicus brief in Leacho, Inc. v. Consumer Product Safety Commission urging the Supreme Court to take up the case and rule in favor of Leachco.
“The Framers of our Constitution believed that a combination of structural constraints on government power and popular accountability was essential to the protection of liberty. The administrative state, by design, circumvents both of these protections,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “With the downfall of Chevron, the Supreme Court reclaimed much of its constitutional authority from the administrative state. Now it is time for the Court to do the same for the Executive Branch by taking up this case and ruling for Leachco.”
