Just my guess: the Chevron decision will go exactly how conservatives want it, but be buried by the same-day Trump immunity decision. The justices aren't stupid. They know how news cycles work and they've done this before. You'll hear about Chevron in a John Oliver segment in a few months.

My law students have trouble understanding the import of Chevron deference. I don't think the justices have to worry about hiding their elimination of it from the general public. Nobody's gonna be saying, "they did what?!"

I'm torn because Chevron wreaks havoc on immigration law, preventing meaningful review by Circuit courts. Immigration agencies take outrageous positions and the Circuits always give them Chevron deference.

And in 3 years Roberts will have another clean up opinion about how lower courts are reading their shitty opinion wrong

Unless the court backs immunity in full or in part, I'm not sure "stuck with status quo" will bury Chevron very much?

If Democrats had the fortitude to wipe out all case law from Bush v. Gore to present, the Roberts Court would be more cautious.

the Alito absences seem to be telling us something, just not sure what.... like, is he putting up barricades? or is he spending time stamping around his house and thinking about ordering some custom flags?

I don't think Chevron is more than a single day below-the-fold headline on any news day. Unless the Democrats make it one. It's just too attenuated from comsequences for even well-informed voters. It's on us to explain it and the stakes regardless.

It's fair to say that the Supreme Court under Roberts has a much higher opinion of itself than anyone else does. Their inflated sense of self-worth drives their false assumption that they know better about what is good for the United States than the authors of the Constitution.

I'm surprised Gorsuch hasn't leaked it he's so gung-ho for the result, after all it's completing his late mother's work to make the planet uninhabitable to hasten The Rapture or some shit.

I think it stands. The increased workload would destroy congress and back up the courts. It's much easier to keep the federal agencies around to blame when things go wrong, plus they'd be killing plum positions for campaign contributors.

"Today we're going to talk about Chevron deference, which was not about looking the other way as an oil company destroyed the environment but, thanks to the Supreme Court, now kind of is."

My dream: the Chevron decision will be the final nail in this corrupt SCOTUS's coffin. If the Dems manage to stumble into total victory, they will have all the ammo they need to reform the Court back to legitimacy: packing, term limits, enforceable ethics code, impeachments. Whatever works.

Not directly related, but I think we've already seen the coming Chevron debacle foreshadowed by the bump stock decision.

Well, that will be fun as they unleash neverending lawsuits on rules from the last 50 years - and random judges decide to substitute their expertise for actual experts.

Yep, I believe you are correct. The Supreme Court is corrupt, can't be trusted.
