Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments in Case Regarding Power of Federal Agencies | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Loper-Bright case, which could significantly diminish the power of federal agencies. At the center of the case is the Chevron Doctrine, a 40 year old precedent in which courts give difference to federal agencies' interpretation of the laws that they actually administer. It's a precedent that plays out across all government agencies and although it sounds technical, it is one of the most closely watched cases of this term. Attorney William Haun for Becket Law joins to explain the Loper Bright case and how it might limit federal agency power. Haun discusses how he sees the balance of power amongst the 3 branches of government shifting if the deference precedent is eliminated. There have been cases where agencies have abused the power of Chevron Deference and it has led to the targeting of religious believers. Haun tells us what some examples of that are. In the long run, he fills us in on how he sees this case affecting the freedoms and protections afforded to religious organization, churches, schools and ministries. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
