The Chevron Doctrine Overturned: A Seismic Blow to Federal Agency Power
On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark 6-3 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, overturning the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, a ruling that fundamentally reshapes the landscape of federal regulatory power. For decades, the Chevron doctrine, established in 1984’s Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, mandated that federal courts defer to a federal agency’s “reasonable” interpretation of ambiguous statutes. This gave agencies like the IRS, CIA, FDA, FBI, Department of Education, and Department of Motor Vehicles sweeping authority to craft their own rules and regulations, effectively acting as unelected lawmakers. The Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle Chevron strips these agencies of their unchecked power, declaring such self-created rules unconstitutional unless explicitly authorized by Congress. This report dives into the implications of this ruling, its impact on agencies, and the status of figures like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino in this new legal reality.
The Chevron Doctrine: A 40-Year Reign of Agency Overreach
The Chevron doctrine emerged from a 1984 case involving the Environmental Protection Agency’s interpretation of the Clean Air Act. It established a two-step framework: first, courts determined if a statute was clear; if ambiguous, they deferred to the agency’s interpretation as long as it was “reasonable.” This gave agencies like the IRS, which sets tax regulations, or the FDA, which governs drug approvals, near-unilateral power to define their own authority. Over 18,000 lower court decisions and 70 Supreme Court rulings leaned on Chevron, embedding it as a cornerstone of administrative law. Agencies exploited this deference to issue rules on everything from education standards to intelligence operations that often bypassed the legislative process, undermining the constitutional requirement that laws be passed by elected officials.
The Supreme Court’s Ruling: Restoring Constitutional Balance
In Loper Bright and Relentless, the Court ruled that Chevron violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which requires courts to exercise independent judgment in interpreting statutes. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, declared, “Chevron is overruled. Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority.” The case stemmed from a National Marine Fisheries Service regulation requiring fishing companies to pay for onboard monitors, a cost not explicitly authorized by Congress. The Court’s conservative majority argued that Chevron’s deference to agencies was a “judicial invention” that eroded the judiciary’s role to “say what the law is.” Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent warned that the ruling shifts power to unelected judges, potentially disrupting regulations on healthcare, environmental protections, and more.
Unconstitutional Agency Rules: A House of Cards Collapsing
The overturning of Chevron means that rules and regulations created by federal agencies without clear congressional authorization are now vulnerable to legal challenges as unconstitutional. Agencies like the FBI, which has issued internal guidelines on surveillance, or the Department of Education, which sets Title IX policies, have historically relied on Chevron to defend their interpretations. These rules, often crafted by unelected bureaucrats, sidestepped the legislative process, violating the Constitution’s separation of powers. For example, the IRS’s ability to impose new tax penalties or the FDA’s drug approval criteria could now face scrutiny if they exceed explicit statutory mandates. The ruling doesn’t automatically void all agency rules but opens the door for litigation to dismantle those lacking congressional backing, potentially gutting decades of regulatory overreach.
Impact on Federal Agencies: A New Era of Accountability
The fallout from Chevron’s demise is profound for agencies:
IRS: Tax regulations, such as penalties or deductions not explicitly legislated, could be struck down, forcing Congress to clarify tax law.
CIA: Covert operation protocols or data collection rules, often justified under broad “national security” mandates, now risk judicial review for overstepping statutory bounds.

FDA: Drug and food safety standards, like emergency use authorizations, may face challenges if deemed beyond congressional intent.
FBI: Internal policies on investigations or surveillance, such as FISA warrant processes, could be deemed unconstitutional without clear legislative authority.
Department of Education: Policies like student loan forgiveness or curriculum standards, often based on vague statutes, are now prime targets for lawsuits.
Department of Motor Vehicles: While state-run, federal DMV regulations (e.g., REAL ID compliance) could be challenged if they rely on ambiguous federal laws.
This shift empowers courts to scrutinize agency actions, potentially paralyzing their ability to issue new rules without explicit congressional approval. Legal scholars predict a flood of lawsuits targeting longstanding regulations, creating uncertainty for agencies and regulated industries alike.
