Chevron deference is a legal doctrine that requires courts to defer to an administrative agency's reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute that the agency is charged with administering.

More on: Chevron Deference

The Chevron Deference is a legal principle established by the Supreme Court's 1984 ruling in Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. This doctrine requires courts to defer to federal agencies' reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes that the agencies are charged with implementing and enforcing.

The podcast episodes discuss the Supreme Court's recent moves to potentially overturn or weaken the Chevron Deference, which would shift the balance of power in statutory interpretation away from agencies and towards the courts. This could have far-reaching implications for the administrative state and the regulation of emerging industries like cryptocurrencies.

Several episodes, such as "Chevron Deference: 40-Year Decision Reversed & Explained | Justin Slaughter", "Supreme Court Shifts Regulatory Power From Experts To Judges", and "Opinionpalooza: SCOTUS and MAGA's Shared Vision For Government Comes Into View", provide in-depth analysis of the Chevron Deference and the Supreme Court's recent and upcoming rulings that could significantly impact it.
