One last thought: I don’t think anyone knows what will replace Chevron. What I’ll say is that government cannot work without some form of deference to agency interpretation. Will that look like Skidmore? Maybe. Something else? Possibly. 1/2
The point is that the Roberts court is intent on finding a “happy” medium: upend half a century of adlaw doctrine, let the lower courts fight, then step in and “save” the day.
Also, when I think about what groups / interests are able and prepared to pipeline issues and ideas to Court...let's just say there is an an asymmetry.
