Challengers to federal rules covering a range of industries including mining and farming got a fresh shot on Tuesday at rolling back regulations as the U.S. Supreme Court applied a new standard for reviewing the power of federal agencies.
Nine lower-court rulings were vacated by the Supreme Court and sent back to be reconsidered in light of Friday's decision reversing the decades-old Chevron doctrine that said judges should defer to agencies to interpret laws they administer.
The cases were the first of what is expected to be a wave of rulings reassessing the power of federal regulators, who make rules covering everything from food and drugs to airlines and drinking water. "This is going to have a widespread effect that we're going to be feeling for the months and years to come," said Loren Seehase, senior counsel at conservative legal group Liberty Justice Center.
Friday's ruling, in a case known as Loper Bright, does not mean any particular regulation will be overturned and some experts cautioned about reading too much into its impact.
But the ruling does mean judges must perform an independent assessment of whether a regulation is legal.
Before the Supreme Court overturned the 1984 Chevron precedent, judges were instructed to defer to an agency's interpretation when a statute was ambiguous.
The cases that were returned on Tuesday to lower courts of appeals included a 13-year dispute between South Dakota farmer Arlen Foster and Department of Agriculture regulators who concluded that an eight-inch pool of water on his property was a protected wetland.

Talk about leaving the mouse in charge of the cheese. Say, Mr. TLA, whats the scope of your authority as delegated by Congress? We have to accept whatever you say it is....so....
>> Unless I’m missing something major this is almost an impartial article from the media.
It’s ironic the MSM is resorting to impartiality in order to buttress its position against Biden.
will this make it tougher for the feds to implement their green new deal nonsense?
Bkmk
I’m hoping the floodgates open against all these 3 letter BS rules and regulations all of which are illega if it’s not a law passed by congress.
***Department of Agriculture regulators who concluded that an eight-inch pool of water on his property was a protected wetland.***
I remember this happening to farmers several times in the past.

LOL. The agencies won't be one bit deterred. They'll circumvent and double down. Gotta control the little people, don't ya know.
The problem is that the congress is content to let the agencies take over its responsibilities. They could asset their authority, but they don’t. They’re too busy looking for ways to get rich while “serving”.

I seem to recall that a number of these agencies aquired a few guns and a little ammo.
To make movies with Alec, right?
The whole agency weaponization thing needs to be deeply examined. For the good of the country and our liberties. Just saying.
There’s a low spot in my hay field that’s wet during snow melt. Because of that government deemed it a protected wetland, tying my hands as to what I can do with it.

That was the point of the SCOTUS Chevron decision. They can’t let the agencies take over their responsibilities. Congress has to do it’s job not the agencies which can’t make laws that they call rules and regulations.
“That was the point of the SCOTUS Chevron decision.”

True, but Biden has ignored the USSC (on student loans) and the agencies will too. Contrary to what most people think, bureaucrats are very clever and inventive when it comes to protecting and expanding their empires. And congress enables this.
