Right now Congress gives regulatory agencies general guidelines, and the agencies work out the finer details. Soon it will likely be left to Congress and the courts to iron out those finer details. And both of those bodies are slow, and courts are fragmented across states.
It’s actually a few different cases, but they all hinge on whether the Executive branch has a legal standing to create Federal agencies that can create and execute regulation.
There’s a good chance we could soon be in a USA where experts don’t have a voice, and the courts suddenly are in charge of the regulatory state.
As Ghostalmedia pointed out, this case is specifically the one where the Supreme Court has been specifically asked to rule on whether the Chevron defense (the bedrock case that allows the US administrative state to functionally exist) should be overruled outright, or at least limited in scope.
The conservative Supreme Court is about to make that a lot harder in a few days. Get ready for the Canonaro to be real.
What decision is this? I’ve not been paying attention to Supreme Court doings lately.
The Dobbs case of this session is Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc. v. Raimondo, and it’s looking like the court is going to side with the conservatives.

There are lots of little cases, but the nuclear bomb is Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc. v. Raimondo.
Loper will be to regulation as Dobbs was to abortion.
This is the no more EPA, FAA, FDA etc case right?
