Deep dives
Chevron Should Be Upheld
Chevron strikes the right balance between empowering agencies to fulfill their statutory duties and preventing overreach. It encourages agencies to implement statutes while maintaining the role of the political branches in making major value judgments. Without Chevron, district judges would make decisions, which is not ideal for a federal government. Additionally, Congress has the power to get rid of Chevron if they so choose.
