Opening Arguments

They Finally Killed Chevron Deference

OA1050 Legal podcaster Charles Star (ALAB, Mic Dicta) joins to share his administrative law expertise as we consider the end of the Chevron doctrine and what comes next. Why is everyone so worked up about the overturning of a ruling reached by a conservative SCOTUS at the behest of Ronald Reagan, Neil Gorsuch's mom, and one of the worst polluters in world history? Why are immigration lawyers (including Matt) quietly celebrating the end of deference to administrative agencies? And how might a lesser-noticed decision from the last day of the Supreme Court’s term fuel a new era of challenges to administrative regulations? <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/467/837" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chevron v  Natural Resources Defense Council (1984)</a> <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Loper Bright Enterprises v.
