Supreme Court overturns Chevron precedent, limiting federal regulatory power.
PODCAST INTRO | YOU'RE LISTENING TO: Supreme Court overturns Chevron precedent, limiting federal regulatory power.| PREVIOUS EPISODE
This week, we have a great show lined up on a very hot topic! Special guest Kara Rollins, Litigation Council for the New Civil Liberties Alliance, will join us today to discuss a breaking Supreme Court ruling that curtails federal agencies' power! The ruling overturned a 40-year-old "Chevron deference" decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power. The ruling has upended certain federal agencies' authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly.
Conservative legal groups have long sought to reverse or weaken Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council, which was decided in 1984. The court's ruling in two related cases is a significant victory for the conservative movement. Those opposing that landmark ruling, which challenged a regulation enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act, claim the Chevron doctrine gives unelected federal bureaucrats too much power to craft regulations affecting significant areas of American life, such as the workplace, the environment, and health care. Kara will offer us her expert opinion on the ruling and what the decision means for conservatives.
