The Supreme Court significantly curtailed the power of executive agencies and their unelected bureaucrats Friday with a 6-3 ruling of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overturned the decision of the 1984 Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council.
Conservatives have criticized Chevron for empowering unelected bureaucrats to interpret laws without oversight from either Congress or the Courts, who constitutionally make and interpret laws.
Conservatives have also criticized Chevron for allowing Congress to ignore its responsibilities by leaving clarification of legal ambiguities to unelected administrative agencies.
The court split along standard ideological lines, with all six conservatives, including the more moderate Chief Justice John Roberts, ruling to overturn Chevron while all three liberals ruled against it.
