July 5, 2024 (San Juan Capistrano) -- Rep. Mike Levin, who worked as an environmental lawyer before his election to Congress, blasted the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overrule a nearly 40-year-old precedent guiding government regulation of the environment and medicine.
 
The 1984 precedent the court overturned arose from a ruling involving oil company Chevron that called for judges to defer to reasonable federal agency interpretations of U.S. laws deemed to be ambiguous.
