Stripping Power from Federal Agencies – Interview with Mark Chenoweth of New Civil Liberties Alliance
In this episode, we sit down with Mark Chenoweth from the New Civil Liberties Alliance to discuss their landmark victory in the ruling that overturned the 40-year-old “Chevron deference” precedent, fundamentally reshaping the balance of power between federal agencies and the judiciary. Once, courts deferred to agencies’ expertise when interpreting ambiguous laws; now, federal judges hold the reins to decide what those laws mean—ushering in a new era of judicial policymaking.
We dive into the “Chevron Difference,” exploring what this win means for the future of regulatory law and agency authority. From environmental protections to workplace safety and drug pricing, the fallout of this ruling could ripple across every corner of American life.
Join us as we unpack the profound implications of this decision for the rule of law, the role of unelected judges, and the ability of federal agencies to safeguard the public. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
