Supreme Court to Review Federal Power Limits in Key Case.
TL;DR
The Supreme Court will reconsider the 1984 Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council precedent, which directs courts to defer to an agency's legal approach when Congress has left the statutory language ambiguous. Some conservatives argue that this grants too much power to federal regulators, and several members of the current conservative majority have criticized the Chevron deference. They suggest that judges should be more assertive over regulatory agencies.
