SCOTUS overturning Chevron shows "total lack of humility," says Jody Freeman. Elie Mystal calls it "massive power grab" shifting power from agency scientists to unelected conservative judges. #Velshi

  ‘Massive power grab’ by SCOTUS ‘throws out decades of established law’
  
  from MSNBC
  
  The Supreme Court on Friday overturned the 40-year-old legal principle known as the Chevron doctrine, which required courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws they administer. The unprecedented judicial power grab shifts the final say on ambiguous laws from the experts staffing these agencies to federal judges, helping to advance a major goal of Project 2025, the rightwing manifesto for dismantling democratic institutions. The ruling “disrespects both the Congress and the Executive branch – amassing power for the court itself,” says Jody Freeman, an administrative law professor and Director of the Environmental and Energy Law program at Harvard Law School. Justice Correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal calls it a “massive power grab” leaving “no power for the people to choose for themselves.”
