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.

“Bottom line: Absent Congressional action, the move to Schedule III just isn’t going to happen anytime soon.”. The regulatory state has been in full force since, ironically, 1984, with the institution of the Chevron doctrine. Chevron has required courts to defer to the expertise of administrative agencies when the legislative intent of an underlying law is ambiguous, which made it a cornerstone of how regulators and businesses interact.

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court opened the door Monday to new, broad challenges to regulations long after they take effect, the third blow in a week to federal agencies. The justices ruled 6-3 in favor of a truck stop in North Dakota that wants to sue over a regulation on debit card swipe fees that the federal appeals court in Washington upheld 10 years ago.

Ideally, the US Supreme Court is meant to be above politics, but its latest term will be remembered for crucial rulings with an outsize impact on the 2024 presidential election.

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The United States Supreme Court has voted to overturn a 40-year-old court decision, known as ‘Chevron,’ which defers to federal agencies to interpret the law how they see fit. Some in the digital asset industry have viewed the decision as a win, particularly those critical of how the Securities Exchange and Commission (SEC) has enforced its mandate in the space, while others have warned of it creating legislative issues.

Supreme Court Halts EPA's Good Neighbor Plan: Implications for the Oil and Gas Industry. In a significant decision affecting environmental regulation and interstate pollution, the Supreme Court has temporarily halted the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Good Neighbor Rule." This rule aimed to restrict emissions from power plants and industrial sources that contribute to downwind pollution. The 5-4 decision, driven by the conservative majority, puts the rule on hold while ongoing legal challenges from industry groups and Republican-led states proceed through lower courts.

After the US Supreme Court curtailed the powers of federal agencies in two cases last week, progressive critics predictably complained that the decisions favored “big business,” “corporate interests” and “the wealthy and powerful.”

That gloss overlooked the reality that people with little wealth or power frequently are forced to contend with overweening bureaucrats who invent their own authority and play by their own rules.

In the more consequential case, the court repudiated the Chevron doctrine, which required that judges defer to a federal agency’s “permissible” interpretation of an “ambiguous” statute.



The majority said that rule, which the court established in 1984, was unworkable...
