Chevron is overruled. Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.
In tossing Chevron, the Supreme Court handcuffs Biden and every future president – POLITICO
Conservatives advocating the change aimed to restrain presidents mostly Democrats whose agencies have stretched the boundaries of laws passed decades or generations ago to address the problems of today. Defanging the White House this way frees up judges to reach their own conclusions about what lawmakers meant, but it comes with a daunting consequence: From now on, Congress will be expected to sort out the intricacies of issues like housing finance, greenhouse gas emissions and artificial intelligence, at a time when it s already struggling to legislate on big issues.
Instead, Congress has gotten used to leaving lots of legislative gaps for agencies to fill in themselves. So while the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act gave President Joe Biden a big win on drug prices allowing Medicare to begin negotiating them with pharmaceutical companies for the first time the law didn t tell the agencies precisely how to do that. And while it s well established that the Environmental Protection Agency can regulate carbon emissions from power plants, the decades-old Clean Air Act is similarly missing detailed instructions.

Sounds like a plan. Sounds like democracy, in fact. Could be a bust. Who knows? Probably worth a try though.
