The main topic addressed is administrative law and the power/authority of administrative agencies like the EPA and SEC.
The podcast episodes discuss the Supreme Court's rulings and their impact on administrative law, particularly the potential overturning of the Chevron deference doctrine, which gives agencies authority in interpreting laws through regulations.
These episodes explore how this shift in administrative law could undermine the power of federal agencies and the administrative state, with potential implications for environmental protection, securities regulation, and other areas of federal oversight.
The episodes also contextualize these legal changes within a broader conservative effort to limit federal regulation and shift power away from the executive branch.
