And why you should care
In 1984, the Chevron case arose after the EPA defined all plant equipment as a single pollution "source" under the Clean Air Act, easing emissions rules. The NRDC (The Natural Resources Defense Council) sued, arguing it weakened environmental laws.
The court believed that federal agencies, equipped with expertise in their respective areas, were better positioned to handle ambiguities in the law than the court.
Loper Bright is a herring fish company located on the east coast. The department of commerce required Loper Bright to pay for a federal monitor to be on the boat to make sure they didn’t overfish. They were upset because it was costing them 700$ per day. They sued the department of commerce claiming that that the right to make that law wasn't give to them by congress.
The district court ruled the following:
In other words, they are saying that the department of commerce does have a right to require the federal monitor, due to the precedent set by Chevron deference.
After Loper lost they appealed to the supreme court. The supreme court ruled in their favor saying, “ Chevron is overruled. Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory”. In short, this means federal agencies can’t fill in the gray with their own ideas.
It seems certain that government agencies will face an onslaught of legal battles since Chevron has been overturned. Industries that are highly regulated are most likely to pushback. See screenshot for agencies that will be hit the hardest:
In my opinion, the government has too many regulations put in place by unelected officials. The vast majority of these regulations are unfair to businesses and hurt the American people. Chevron will curtain the ability of federal agencies to make unfair laws.
