"Supreme Court Considers Conservative Challenge to Federal Agencies"

The Supreme Court is considering overturning the 1984 Chevron ruling, which grants federal agencies leeway in interpreting ambiguous statutes, in two cases involving fisheries regulations. The ruling has been a target for conservatives who view it as bolstering federal agency power. The cases reflect a broader attack on federal agency authority by business interests and the conservative legal establishment, with the court's 6-3 conservative majority potentially reshaping the balance of power between federal agencies and Congress.
