Supreme Court Ends Chevron Deference, Shifting Regulatory Power to Judges

The ruling dismantles a 40-year-old doctrine, sparking concerns over judicial overreach and the undermining of expert agencies.

The Chevron deference required courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws.
The Supreme Court's decision removes this deference, granting judges more authority over regulatory decisions.
Critics argue this shift undermines the expertise of agencies like the EPA, FDA, and SEC.
The ruling follows a pattern of decisions favoring conservative ideologies and limiting regulatory oversight.
Justice Elena Kagan's dissent highlights concerns about the judiciary's lack of technical expertise and accountability.
