Elizabeth Warren, Dem Senators Roll Out Bill To Restore Administrative State’s Power After Landmark SCOTUS Ruling

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and several of her colleagues unveiled a new bill Tuesday looking to restore powers of the administrative state after the Supreme Court scaled back unelected bureaucrats’ powers in June.

Warren — along with fellow Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who typically caucuses with Democrats — rolled out the Stop Corporate Capture Act on Tuesday, which would essentially overturn the Supreme Court’s landmark June decision ending Chevron deference. Formerly a key tool for federal bureaucrats to make and enforce regulations, Chevron deference held that courts should defer to executive agencies’ interpretations of statutory ambiguities in laws pertaining to a given regulatory action.
