In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court has dismantled the Chevron doctrine, a move that will complicate the regulatory efforts of executive branch agencies. This decision disrupts decades-long administrative law and shifts interpretative power from federal agencies to the judiciary.

Most affected by the ruling are areas involving the environment, public health, and workplace safety. Critics, primarily conservative, argue that this change will curb government overreach. However, many warn that such a shift could impede the government's ability to address significant issues like climate change and public health crises.

With the court's 6-3 ruling, questions arise about how federal regulations will adapt, given the newfound judicial skepticism. The ruling brings to light the ongoing debate between executive power and judicial oversight.
