Supreme Court Reshaping Power and Impact on Federal Agencies
The Supreme Court made significant decisions beyond ruling on Trump's immunity, reshaping the power dynamic by limiting federal agencies' authority to implement laws. In three key rulings, agencies are now constrained in penalizing individuals, with court involvement mandated for such cases. The overturning of the Chevron Doctrine further emphasizes that judges, not agency experts, will interpret the law. Although the rulings aim to prevent agency overreach, critics argue they empower corporations and the wealthy in legal proceedings, diminishing the role of agencies and potentially harming average citizens.
