"Supreme Court Case Threatens Federal Rulemaking Power"
TL;DR
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case brought by herring fishermen that could potentially undermine the power of federal agencies to create regulations. The case challenges the Chevron doctrine, a system that governs how judges review federal regulations, and has implications beyond the fishing industry, attracting support from conservative groups. The Biden administration is defending the fishing regulation and the Chevron doctrine, while opponents argue that the real agenda is to weaken the federal government's ability to regulate big industries. A decision is expected this summer.
