West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey – who has led efforts to lessen the control of the federal regulatory state – praised a U.S. Supreme Court decision Friday that gives Congress and the courts more say over executive branch regulations.
In a 6-3 decision Friday, the Supreme Court overturned a 40-year-old prior Supreme Court decision – known as the Chevron decision – that gave more latitude to federal departments and agencies to institute regulations when laws passed by Congress are not clear.
