Supreme Court to Review Limits on Federal Power and Chevron Doctrine
TL;DR
The US Supreme Court will reconsider Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council (1984), which established that courts should defer to policymaking decisions made by federal agencies. The upcoming case, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, explicitly asks whether the court should overrule Chevron. Overruling Chevron would make the US far less democratic and introduce chaos into the entire federal government, as every decision made by federal agencies could be the subject of protracted litigation. It would also shift power away from the other two branches of government and to the unelected members of the federal judiciary.
