Will Chevron Deference Be Overturned?; The NYTimes Attack on Chief Justice Roberts

Will Chevron Deference Be Overturned?

The U.S. Supreme Court granted cert in Loper Bright Enterprises, et al. v. Raimondo, et al. and agreed to reconsider Chevron v. NRDC, which instructs courts to defer to a federal agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous law. NCLA filed an amicus brief in support of Loper Bright Enterprises’ petition for a writ of certiorari on behalf of similarly situated clients, Relentless Inc., Huntress Inc., and Seafreeze Fleet LLC, corporations operating in the herring fishery off the coast of New England. NCLA represents amici as parties in Relentless Inc., et al. v. U.S. Dept. of Commerce, et al.

The NYTimes Attack on Chief Justice Roberts

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. informed the Senate Judiciary Committee in a recent letter that he was declining its invitation to testify about ethics rules for the Supreme Court. The New York Times has since then attacked Chief Justice Roberts, claiming that he is unfit to serve on the judiciary.
