The Supreme Court's Conservative Supermajority and Its Approach to Cases

Despite the absence of prominent cases like abortion or a President's student debt relief plan, the current Supreme Court term is still significant. The conservative supermajority is pursuing its long-standing goal of limiting federal agencies' rule-making power. They aim to erode the Chevron deference precedent, which grants agencies the authority to interpret their own rules. A key case, Loper-Brite Enterprises v. Ramondo, seeks to roll back Chevron deference. If successful, it could impede the executive branch's ability to execute laws, resulting in significant disruptions to the functioning of the federal government.
