Supreme Court overrules Chevron

Tags:

The nation’s top court dramatically clawed back power from federal regulators in a tectonic ruling Friday that KO’d decades of precedent and could affect everything from the environment to AI and healthcare.

— New York Post

“Chevron is overruled,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion. “Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority.”

However, Roberts sought to prevent the decision from impacting prior cases that were decided based on Chevron deference.

“We do not call into question prior cases that relied on the Chevron framework,” he wrote. “The holdings of those cases that specific agency actions are lawful—including the Clean Air Act holding of Chevron itself—are still subject to statutory stare decisis despite our change in interpretive methodology.”

— The Hill

“The Chevron Doctrine reversal, which was the landmark decision, I think from this term, got rid of the ability of federal regulators to do what they thought they wanted to do rather than what Congress gave them the power to do.”

— Dr. Peter McCullough
