The Supreme Court announced Friday morning that it had ruled 6-3 (you know who voted how) to overturn Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, a case from 1984 that established a very important doctrine in federal regulation. Federal law is by necessity broad, applying as it does across so many...

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

With end of “Chevron deference,” Supreme Court changes how agencies, lawmakers work

Tonight, President Biden spoke to reporters at the White House. He criticized today's Supreme Court decision on presidential power, a ruling former President Donald Trump called a win. The divided court said former presidents are broadly immune from prosecution for things they did while in office. And Biden's words were being closely watched tonight for another reason. This is his first time back in Washington since his disastrous debate last week. White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram joins us from the White House Hi there.

The Supreme Court on Friday threw into question the future of climate and environmental regulation in the United States, scrapping a decades-old legal precedent that gave federal agencies leeway to interpret laws according to their expertise and scientific evidence. The impact of the decision to scrap the so-called Chevron deference will take years to become clear, but it could allow for far more legal challenges against regulations by agencies like the EPA and the Department of the Interior that have a huge role in the climate fight.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump has been out of office for more than three years, but he just notched a big win at the Supreme Court. Friday’s ruling that overturned an important 1984 ruling called Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council was a belated victory for Trump’s deregulatory agenda, with all three of his appointees to the high court joining the 6-3 conservative majority.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The Supreme Court on Thursday halted the Environmental Protection Agency’s “good neighbor” rule intended to combat air pollution. In a 5–4 decision, the conservative majority of the court upheld a stay against an EPA regulation that requires states limit their emissions to offset the effects in states downwind of their pollution, claiming the rule would cause “irreparable harm.” In a stunner, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett broke from the conservative bloc and wrote the dissenting opinion, joined by liberal justices.Justice Brett Kavanaugh led in the court’s decision against the EPA, arguing that the good neighbor policy was too difficult to...

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben asks Harvard Law professor Andrew Mergen about the Supreme Court's decision to overrule the "Chevron doctrine." Two years after overturning Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court undid another major legal precedent this week. The Chevron doctrine isn't as well-known, but its reach into the workings of government and the lives of everyday Americans is massive. Thousands of rules and regulations set by federal agencies like the FDA and EPA could now be endangered. Andrew Mergen spent 30 years as an attorney at the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division. He's now at Harvard Law School. Good morning, Andrew.
