The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has overturned the landmark, decades-old Chevron v. NRDC decision. This ruling significantly impacts federal regulatory power, allowing corporations and fossil fuel companies to challenge regulations protecting clean air, water, worker safety, and consumer rights. The decision, made by a conservative majority, has drawn criticism from various representatives, who argue it will embolden extreme business interests and undermine public health, gun safety, and environmental protections. The ruling is seen as a victory for corporations at the expense of the American people, potentially leading to irreparable damage by allowing politically appointed judges to make decisions traditionally handled by scientists and experts. Critics have also labeled the decision as Trump-shaped.
