Deep dives

The Supreme Court grapples with the Chevron doctrine

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on two cases challenging the Chevron doctrine, which grants federal agencies latitude in interpreting legislative statutes. The conservative-leaning court seems inclined to limit or strike down Chevron deference, a 40-year-old precedent that grants federal agencies interpretive authority. Supporters of Chevron argue that agencies possess subject matter expertise and are best positioned to interpret ambiguous laws. Critics claim the Chevron doctrine grants too much power to federal agencies and undermines the role of federal judges.
