On June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a 48-year-old precedent, Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, in a 6-3 decision that made it easier to challenge rules and regulations issued by federal administrative agencies. The new ruling, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, abolished the doctrine of “Chevron Deference,” under which federal courts were supposed to “defer” to administrative agencies’ interpretations of federal statutes on issues as to which Congress had not spoken clearly in the statutes. The new rule, under which the courts are freed of any such requirement and may freely disagree with agency interpretations, has been seized upon by numerous courts over the past few weeks in ruling against the Biden Administration’s new Title IX rules intended to protect LGBTQ people in educational institutions and for purposes of health care coverage subject to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Medicare and Medicaid Acts.
