It was only a matter of time. Is the court system starting to make a power grab? They can interpret laws the way they want?

Is that what it is? Maybe I read the article wrong, I thought they were interpreting laws the way it suits them.

In the US courts have the role of interpreting laws. The Chevron case granted that judicial authority to administrative agencies. This decision corrects that longstanding error, in my opinion.

I realize they have a role in interpreting the law. Even when this error is corrected, what happens when the law is interpreted in a way that isnt right? Im sure it is only a matter of time before that happens. Or maybe I am just paranoid?
