This ought to send the Dems into a frenzy. Depends on how the challenge is worded and/or what is challenged. IMO, a conservative court can't do anything but rule against government overreach.


The Supreme Court on Friday added another case (https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/101323zr1_n6io.pdf)to its docket that asks the justices to overturn decades-old precedent to scale back the power of federal agencies (https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/politics/supreme-court-chevron-deference-conservatives-power-of-agencies/index.html), as well as a case that looks at “qualified immunity” for police officers.
The new case is a companion to a similar dispute involving herring fishermen that the justices have already agreed to hear his term. Although the court did not explain its thinking, it likely added the new case because Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is recused from the first case, having dealt with it as a lower court judge before her elevation to the high court.
The pair of cases represents a conservative attack on the so-called administrative state.
