    We do not need Chevron overturned, just the court telling the BAFTE it cannot change the meaning of the written legal definitions.

    The petition in Guedes isn't even asking that much. Just that the DC Circuit can't rely on Chevron in this case and that they should do a de novo review, like the dissent.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    The appellate court applied Chevron in this case, but the .gov expressly disavowed it. .gov did not want to win that way.

    What we are getting is either a per curiam bitch slap (that was not the right standard, the rule of leniency was the correct standard...), or a dissent from denial of cert. Hard to predict this one (the odds are always in the favor is a denial rather than a PC remand since those are very rare).

    ok, it opens on mobile.

    Gorsuch says that cert denied because this is an "interlocutory" i.e. not a final decision. "The errors apparent in this preliminary ruling might yet be corrected before final judgement."

    I missed, or forgot, that this was a prelim ruling. Yes, the court typically does not grant cert on interlocutory appeals. This is sort of a warning for the appeals & trial court to go back and correct itself while it can. He all but states outright: Chevron does not apply in this case when there are criminal sanctions. Go back to the drawing board.

    I had to save the target file to my hard drive, then open it.

    Gorsuch says the instant case is flawed by Chevron, but may be corrected in final judgment, and opinions on bump stocks in other circuits would be beneficial to the Court, should they not have the same Chevron problem.

    I love the last sentence in the dissent:

    "But waiting should not be mistaken for lack of concern."

    I think that is a dig against the 9th CA.

    This was the DC circuit. I read it that others on the court share the concern even though no one else put their name on his statement.

    I understand. IIRC, it was the San Francisco case that emboldened the 9th circuit, because the SCOTUS did not say anything when it declined cert on the 30 round magazine ban petition.

    Gorsuch, does not want the present court to feel emboldened either.
