Supreme Court Hears Chevron Case

The Supreme Court heard a case concerning a federal agency's ability to impose burdens on individuals when the law is silent on the matter. The case focuses on commercial fishermen in New England who were required to have observers on their boats to ensure compliance with fishing regulations. The issue at hand is whether the agency can force the fishermen to pay for these observers without explicit authorization from Congress. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for how federal agencies are held accountable for their decisions and interpretations of the law.
