The Supreme Court weakens federal regulators, overturning decades-old Chevron decision

The Supreme Court has weakened the power of federal agencies by overturning the Chevron doctrine, which allowed agencies to interpret ambiguous laws. This decision, stemming from a case involving fishermen and federal regulations, shifts the responsibility of legal interpretation back to lawmakers. The ruling could significantly impact various federal departments, reducing their power and increasing the role of Congress in clarifying laws. Dissenting opinions express concern over the concentration of power in the judiciary.
