I think that's an exaggerated takeaway. It's not like all the regulations set by agencies just got rolled back. It just means disputes about what they are allowed to regulate will be settled by the courts rather than the agencies themselves, which gave them basically no check on power. Also, Chevron deference has been effectively dead for many years now. It's not as if the administrative state wasn't able to function in the last 8 years, or prior to 1984 when it was first ruled.

Well… it only is when a statute is ambiguous. Previously a court would defer to the expertise of an agency in charge of a given area EPA, FCC etc… now somehow the court is going need to find that expertise elsewhere. What is the check on the judiciary again… they seem to be acting as if there is none. Any way, none of this is easy… boundaries never are.

Courts are the appropriate experts on interpreting statues. The check on courts is at least they are appointed and confirmed by the senate, anyone can listen to the oral arguments, read the decisions and the constitutional reasoning behind them.
