When lobbyists and corporate interests want to influence policy going forward,
they’ll be putting 👉more resources toward the judiciary than the president.👈
When the Supreme Court overturned #Chevron deference last month,
it also 💥upped the ante for corporate interests to land their cases in a favorable court.💥
Before the landmark ruling, presidential administrations could change government rules and expect courts to side with them.
♦️Now, a judge’s decision on a government rule becomes “locked in” as a judicial precedent for future challenges♦️
— 🔸even if the executive branch tries to change it in the future.🔸
“Chevron was supposed to, deference was supposed to, take some of the edge off of those selections
because whatever judge you got, they were supposed to be deferential.
But that’s gone now,” administrative law expert Craig Green told NOTUS.

The incentives for corporate interests to invest financially in presidential elections don’t disappear,
but they do shift, in part, from the president’s power over agencies to the president’s power over judicial appointments.
