"Supreme Court Considers Conservative Challenge to Federal Agencies"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by NBC News

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.

Supreme Court to Revisit Limits on Federal Agency Power.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by NBC News

The Supreme Court will consider overturning a 1984 ruling that requires courts to defer to federal agencies in their interpretations of the law when the language of the statute is ambiguous. The case involves a challenge to a government regulation that requires fishing vessels to fund the collection of scientific data to assist with fishery conservation and management. Conservative groups and business interests have been attacking federal bureaucracy in what has been dubbed "the war on the administrative state." The court could still rule in favor of the challengers by limiting the scope of the Chevron decision without overturning it entirely.
