Congressional Decision Affecting Law Writing
The podcast highlights a Supreme Court decision that alters how Congress writes laws, pointing out that Congress often leaves crucial details up to executive branch agencies when creating new programs. This practice has essentially shifted power from Congress to the executive branch, allowing agencies to interpret laws as they see fit. The case involving Chevron in 1984 set a precedent where courts defer to agency judgments in interpreting vague instructions from Congress's laws. While this reliance on expertise can be beneficial, it could also lead to corporate influence affecting regulations, resulting in regulatory inconsistencies.
