Day 1,662: defer to, circuit court, arch-, endure
At this second step, if the court sees the agency’s interpretation as reasonable—even if it is not the interpretation the court thinks best—it defers to the agency. In Loper Bright and Relentless, the circuit courts concluded that the law in question is ambiguous and that the nmfs’s interpretation of it is reasonable.
Chevron was popular among conservative justices in its early days. Five years after it was decided, Antonin Scalia (an arch-conservative justice who died in 2016) gave a lecture at Duke Law School in which he predicted that agency deference would endure as it “reflects the reality of government” and “serves its needs”.
