The Chevron deference refers to a SCOTUS decision of forty years ago, that has been a staple of regulatory law ever since. Named for the bad guys in that long-ago case, the decision basically held that if there’s a dispute over how to interpret a particular regulation, judges are required to defer to the experts within the regulatory agency. Which totally makes sense. These agencies — FDA, EPA, USDA, OSHA, FDIC, the whole alphabet stew — exist specifically to ride herd over industries not known for their attention to the public interest. If the regulatory agencies are to have any bite, the regulations they write need teeth.
