Supreme Court Overturns ‘Chevron Doctrine,’ Curtailing Federal Government Power https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-overturns-chevron-doctrine-curtailing-federal-government-power-5659507?src_src=Morningbrief&src_cmp=mb-2024-06-29&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAc%2BEkeh0J2pCYvpMDrWsXCLt3euFThIsZ7njlOgysV3MoCA%3D%3D The 40-year-old doctrine has provided a legal foundation for the modern administrative state. The Supreme Court in a vote of 6–3 overturned the Chevron deference doctrine, a bureaucracy-empowering judicial doctrine that critics say led to the explosive growth of the U.S. government in recent decades. The new decision will make it more difficult for unelected government officials to generate new regulations. For years, the doctrine forced judges to defer to the legal interpretations of federal agency officials who enforced federal laws they deemed ambiguous.
