The Chevron doctrine from the U.S. Supreme Court decision Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (1984) is history, thanks to our present Supreme Court.
Despite what leftists claim, this is a good thing. That decision granted federal agencies broad latitude to interpret the laws they administer.
Star Parker explained on Straight Arrow News. She said that the “administrative state, the bureaucracy in Washington” had gone beyond its scope of the law. Why? Because laws have been so vague, and Congress let down their guard and hadn’t filled in the details enough for the huge administrative state to know what to do. This has left a lot of room for abuse.
The Supreme Court in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024) overruled Chevron.
“Justice Clarence Thomas stated that the Chevron doctrine was inconsistent with the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution’s division of powers between the three branches of government,” Star said.
Chevron essentially required courts to give up their constitutional power to interpret laws. The executive branch is supposed to carry out laws, not interpret them.
