Day 1,664: brief, ditch, contest, dole out
Dozens of friend-of-the-court briefs urge the justices to do just that: bury-Chevron filings outnumber save-Chevron briefs by a ratio of four to one.
But the implications of ditching the 40-year-old precedent are contested.
Not all regulations, though, are as hard to swallow as forcing fishermen to dole out up to a fifth of their profits to an on-board observer.

ditch: to get rid of something or someone that is no longer wanted:
contest: If you contest a formal statement, a claim, a judge's decision, or a legal case, you say formally that it is wrong or unfair and try to have it changed:
