Supreme Court Rulings Reshape Federal Power Dynamics
Recent decisions limit executive agency authority, heightening judicial and legislative responsibilities.
- The Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine, reducing federal agencies' power to interpret ambiguous laws.
- New rulings allow plaintiffs to challenge regulations long after they were enacted, potentially flooding courts with lawsuits.
- The Court's decisions may force Congress to be more precise in legislative language and reclaim authority from the executive branch.
- These changes could lead to significant downsizing and cautious rule-making within federal agencies.
- The impact on state regulations and businesses, particularly in sectors like environmental regulation, remains uncertain.
