"Supreme Court Considers Conservative Challenge to Federal Agencies"
TL;DR
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.
