The recent Supreme Court ruling eliminated the Chevron doctrine, a 40-year-old legal principle that granted significant power to executive branch agencies like the EPA. This decision shifts the regulatory power from agencies to the courts, impacting federal rule-making. The ruling may hinder efforts to address environmental issues, public health threats, and auto safety regulations, prompting a potential increase in congressional involvement in legislation clarity. The decision was praised by conservatives as a victory for the rule of law but criticized by Democrats for undermining regulatory protections and siding with corporate interests.
