"Supreme Court Considers Limiting Federal Agency Power in Landmark Case"

The Supreme Court is divided over whether to limit the power of federal agencies, with conservatives questioning the deference given to government experts and liberals expressing concern about shifting power to unelected judges. The court's decision in cases brought by herring fishermen could have far-reaching implications for federal agency regulation. Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch expressed skepticism about the long-standing Chevron precedent, while liberal justices worried about courts becoming policymakers. The decision may hinge on Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, and could impact the balance of power between agencies, courts, and Congress.

Supreme Court to Review Cases Limiting Federal Agency Power.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could limit the power of administrative agencies to regulate businesses. The case seeks to overturn the Chevron precedent, which requires judges to defer to an agency's interpretation of an ambiguous law if it is reasonable. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for regulations across the economy, including those related to clean air and water, food and drug safety, and financial risk. The case in question involves a challenge to a law requiring fishing vessels to pay for monitors to ensure compliance with regulations. The court's Republican-appointed majority has previously chipped away at the power of the administrative state to impose regulations on businesses.
