Overview
It finally happened: as widely expected, the Supreme Court overruled Chevron, the doctrine of deference due by courts to the legal interpretations made by federal agencies.
And Ars Technica found it timely to requote Pantelis Michalopoulos, whose past statement withstood the seismic change brought by this action: "I think the whole sturm und drang about Chevron is a little bit overdone. Because in the end, the judges and the justices know how to defer to the agency when they agree with it and how to not defer to the agency when they think they know better, as they often do." These thoughts remain as relevant after the court's decision as they were long before.
