  • The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council was commended by Republican lawmakers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
  • For 40 years, the Chevron doctrine dictated that judges should defer to federal agencies' interpretation of the law when a statute's language is ambiguous.
  • The new ruling limits the power of federal agency regulators.

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Chevron Doctrine on Friday was praised by Republican lawmakers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision weakened the power of unelected government officials, according to GOP lawmakers.

Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader from Kentucky, stated that Congress holds the exclusive power to create legislation as per the Constitution.

"The Supreme Court has put an end to forty years of Chevron deference, making it clear that our system of government does not allow an unelected bureaucracy to take control of this authority," McConnell stated. "The days of federal agencies filling in the legislative gaps are now over."

Suzanne Clark, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that today's decision is a crucial adjustment that will establish a more consistent and stable regulatory landscape.

The Supreme Court's prior Chevron rule enabled each new presidential administration to change their regulations and regulations, resulting in inconsistent rules for businesses to follow, plan, and invest in the future.

The ruling will undoubtedly alter the way agencies create regulations, according to Jeff Holmstead, a lawyer at Bracewell who previously served as Air Office administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency.

According to Holmstead, during the 40 years that the Chevron Doctrine was in force, agencies would sometimes create a regulatory program and then attempt to justify it by interpreting existing law in a way that would be deemed "permissible" by the courts.

They must begin with the statutory language and determine Congress's intended actions, as stated.

The decision in the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo case is a "huge victory for the American people, Constitutional government, and the rule of law," according to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

The decision to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling in 1984 in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council is a significant blow to the administrative state in Washington, D.C., according to Senator Tom Cotton. No one is elected to make these decisions, he added.

The conservative majority of the Supreme Court was accused of strengthening its power by Democrats, who condemned the ruling.

The Trump MAGA Supreme Court, in ruling against Chevron, has again supported the interests of powerful corporations and special groups at the expense of the middle class and American families, as stated by Senate Majority Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat.

Schumer criticized the headlong rush of those who want to overturn 40 years of precedent and impose their own radical views, calling it appalling.

The House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., stated that today's decision confirms that the Supreme Court's far-right majority will disregard precedent in their pursuit of increasing their own power and that of their MAGA allies nationwide.
