Scrutiny on Agency Authority

Courts have traditionally deferred to Congress and agencies' broad powers, but recent Supreme Court actions show increased scrutiny on agency authority. With the case of Intuit and the FTC, concerns about the agency's misuse of power surfaced when the FTC issued deceptive ad claims against Intuit. This highlights the shift towards reevaluating agency powers and the separation of powers principle.
