Opinion IssuedMar 21, 2024
What's this case about?
Whether the Court should overrule Chevron or at least clarify that statutory silence does not constitute ambiguity.
What are the basics?
The Supreme Court overruled Chevron v. NRDC (1984), holding that courts must exercise independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority. This landmark decision eliminates judicial deference to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes.
