Kavanaugh stated independent agencies are not accountable to the people yet exercise massive power over liberty and industries. Alito joined in questioning whether Congress can label any cabinet office independent and eliminate presidential oversight. Justices also explored whether such agencies could receive 20-year terms. Turley noted that every time the other side was pressed their arguments collapsed. The exchange reminded Washington that the president controls the executive branch rather than independent commissions created by Congress. This outcome strengthens presidential authority over cabinet functions.
Not really. Chevron was about Congress using agencies to abdicate their own lawmaking responsibility, giving them vague authority to execute on laws that don't exist. In other words, creating unaccountable new powers.
This case is about Congress using agencies to remove power from the president.
