Regulatory Agencies and the Expansion of the Administrative State

This chapter delves into the issue of regulatory agencies making decisions based on their own interests rather than the law, resulting in the expansion of the administrative state. The speakers discuss the potential impact of a Supreme Court decision on the Chevron case, emphasizing that it would require courts to interpret the law themselves rather than deferring to federal agencies. They also mention the opposition and non-compliance faced by a former Secretary of the Interior and teases a book written by them.
