The Impending Threat to Environmental and Public Welfare: The Supreme Court’s Review of the Chevron Doctrine

In an era where environmental issues are at the forefront of public concern, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to revisit the Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. ruling sends a worrying signal. Established in 1984, the Chevron doctrine has been a linchpin in empowering agencies like the EPA to interpret and enforce complex environmental laws. Its potential overruling could mark a significant setback for environmental governance and public health. The catalyst for this judicial reconsideration is the case of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a dispute rooted in the financial intricacies of a federal fisheries law. Under Chevron, lower courts upheld the NOAA’s decision requiring fishing companies to bear the cost of mandatory independent monitors. This case has now become emblematic of a broader ideological battle over the extent of bureaucratic power in interpreting laws. <a href="https://medium.com/@aproothi/the-impending-threat-to-environmental-and-public-welfare-0173343959d4">Click Here</a>
