"Supreme Court Justices Grapple with Power Dynamics and Judicial Restraint"

Four Supreme Court justices are considering overruling the Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council decision, which limits federal judges' ability to make policy decisions. Justices Roberts and Barrett are uncertain about the decision, with Barrett expressing concerns about the disruptive consequences of overruling Chevron and Roberts downplaying its significance. Overruling Chevron would transfer an immense amount of power to the justices, effectively making them the ultimate decision-makers on policy questions previously handled by federal agencies. The case raises the question of whether unelected judges should have such authority, and the outcome remains uncertain.
