WASHINGTON, July 30, 2024 – Senate Republicans and Democrats have clashing views on the Supreme Court’s decision to abolish the Chevron doctrine, a judicial canon that gave agencies like the Federal Communications Commission a leg up in federal court.

In a recent column posted on his website, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho., praised the Supreme Court’s decision for curbing the power of government agencies to regulate industry. Meanwhile, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has joined with other Senate progressives on a bill to restore agency deference under Chevron.
