"In a major victory for conservative and business interests, the Supreme Court overruled a 40-year-old case that had made it easier to sustain governmental regulations on the environment, consumer protection, public safety, public health, and workplace safety."

"The decision, today got rid of a case known as Chevron, which basically says that when federal laws are not crystal clear, judges should defer to the experts who work at federal agencies when trying to discern whether the regulations that they've imposed comply with federal law."

"It's not clear how broadly the decision will affect the January 6th cases, or whether President Trump's, charges will be affected. Special counsel Jack Smith, who has brought the charges against Trump in Washington, D.C., has said that no matter how the court ruled, Trump's case would proceed and the charges wouldn't be affected."
