SUPREME COURT
'Big blow to big government': Major SCOTUS decision strips power of 'faceless leviathan' of federal agencies
Republicans praised the decision, saying the previous rule gave 'unelected bureaucrats' too much power

The Supreme Court this term took a HAMMER to decades-old legal doctrine that largely saved executive branch agencies in legal disputes. Now, experts say Congress and the next president will have no choice but to work more closely together and stop relying on the "faceless leviathan" of federal agencies.
In a David vs. Goliath dispute, a group of fishermen sued a government agency that mandated the fishermen pay $700 for "at sea monitors," arguing that the rule is out of the bounds Congress set for the federal agency.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the fishermen in a 6-3 decision last month, and, in doing so, overruled what is known as the Chevron doctrine — a legal theory established in the 1980s that says if a federal regulation is challenged, the courts should defer to the agency’s interpretation of whether Congress had granted it authority to issue the rule, as long as the agency's interpretation is reasonable and Congress had not addressed the question directly.
Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the majority, warning that eliminating Chevron could give judges without expertise authority in legal disputes regarding regulation of food, medicine, the environment, etc.

But conservatives and Republicans, who argued Chevron gave the government too much power to rule through bureaucratic red tape, praised the decision.
"The Supreme Court’s decision in Looper Bright v. Raimondo is a big win for the little guy and a big blow to big government. Power ought to reside with Americans and those they elect and not the faceless leviathan of 3 letter agencies that has thrived under Joe Biden," said Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.
"I think what this decision should mean is that our elected leaders in Congress should be the ones who are making the laws that impact Americans' everyday lives, and not unelected bureaucrats in cubicles in Washington, D.C.," Casey Mattox, vice president of legal strategy at Stand Together, told Fox News Digital.
"It should mean the president having to work with Congress instead of just simply major swings from one direction to the other every four to eight years. That has not served America well," he said.
"Congress should not be passing the buck to unelected people to make the decisions," Mattox added. "And so, I think essentially what the decision to overturn Chevron means is that when Congress is passing laws, it needs to actually get the expertise it needs and then be politically accountable for the decisions it's making."
