Abstract

The 2024 overturning of Chevron will have modest immediate effects: the Supreme Court was already fiercely skeptical of major administrative action, and appeals courts will seek to maintain a pragmatic, labor-saving respect for agencies that leaves settled legal questions undisturbed. But overturning Chevron is part of wider doctrinal shifts unfriendly to administration and favorable to elected partisans. This trend cannot be changed, or even clearly understood, within the premises of modern administrative law, which have frayed law’s ties to administrative practice. A critical review of those premises and revival of preceding, alternative constitutional visions of administration are sorely needed.
