Advancing American Freedom today filed an amicus brief in Relentless v. Department of Commerce, which could be the case in which the Supreme Court overturns Chevron. Chevron requires courts to defer to administrative agencies’ “reasonable” interpretation of supposedly ambiguous statutes, even when that interpretation is clearly not the most reasonable interpretation of the statute.

“Chevron Deference is regularly used by the administrative state to expand the power granted to them by Congress,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “Overturning Chevron is an important step toward reigning in the administrative state and realigning the Federal Government with the structure established by the Constitution. We look forward to hearing the Supreme Court’s decision in this case.”

Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with 29 other amici challenging the Biden Administration’s lawsuit against Idaho which seeks to invalidate the state’s pro-life law on the basis of a radical pro-abortion interpretation of a Reagan-era health law, EMTALA, designed to ensure emergency care for those unable to pay.

“The federal government has adopted a revisionist interpretation of EMTALA post-Dobbs, one that would force pro-life doctors to complete on-demand abortions and circumvent state laws that ban abortion,” said J. Marc Wheat, General Counsel for AAF. “The Supreme Court returned abortion regulation to the states in Dobbs, but the Biden administration is still seeking to weigh into the domain of state law to protected abortion.”
