Not much chatter about this. I find it very scary. If scouts reverses Chevron, not only will we be at the mercy of corporations, but thing we take for granted (like consumer safety) will go away. It also puts judges in the position to be deciders in areas in which they have no expertise, which justice Stevens said in his opinion in 1984. Even Scalia agreed with the decision.

An analysis of the implications:

“If Chevron disappears,” said Jody Freeman, a Harvard University law professor who specializes in administrative and environmental law, it could become “a free-for-all for judges to dig into the nitty-gritty of everything agencies are doing” and “an invitation for interest-group lawyers to try to tie up the agencies in legal knots.”
