The U.S. Supreme Court has recently overturned the Chevron doctrine, a decades-old principle of judicial deference to federal agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. This decision, stemming from the Loper Bright case, marks a significant shift in the legal landscape, returning it to pre-Chevron times. Chevron itself was a largely conservative idea, meant to combat a power shift to the federal judiciary. The ruling is seen as a move to rein in the power of the federal bureaucracy and enhance judicial supervision over Congress's delegation of power. Critics argue that the Supreme Court's decision reflects a tendency to avoid its constitutional duties and engage in political maneuvering.
