Republican lawmakers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce praised the Supreme Court's overturning of Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, "The Constitution vests Congress with the sole authority to make law." Clark added that the Supreme Court's prior Chevron rule "allowed each new presidential administration to advance their political agendas through flip-flopping regulations and not provide consistent rules of the road for businesses to navigate, plan, and invest in the future."
"Going forward, they'll need to start with the statutory language and decide what Congress actually wanted them to do," he said."It's a huge blow to the administrative state in Washington, D.C. No one elects bureaucrats to make these decisions," Cotton said of the decision, which overturned the Supreme Court's ruling in 1984 in a case known as Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council.
