Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Doctrine: What it Means for Climate Change Policy

“So, for instance, if Congress passes a Clean Air Act (which it did in in 1963) and the president creates an executive agency to enforce it (which President Richard Nixon did in 1970), then it’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, actually, ‘clean air’ doesn’t mean what the EPA thinks it means.”
For an unelected panel of judges to come in, above the agencies, and tell them how the president is allowed to enforce laws is a perversion of the constitutional order and separation of powers—and a repudiation of democracy itself.” [https://www.thenation.com/article/society/chevron-deference-supreme-court-power-grab/](https://www.thenation.com/article/society/chevron-deference-supreme-court-power-grab/)
