In a landmark decision on Friday, the Supreme Court overturned the 40-year-old Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council ruling, which had granted federal agencies broad regulatory authority. This move upends the agencies’ ability to issue regulations unless Congress has explicitly authorized them to do so. The decision represents a substantial victory for conservatives, who have long sought to limit the power of unelected bureaucrats in crafting regulations that curtail or limit the freedoms of Americans.
