NRDC has provided the principles used to determine the extent to which a court reviewing agency action should defer to the agency\\u2019s interpretation of its own rules as well as fill in \\u201cblanks\\u201d in the text. For much of his career on the Supreme Court, Justice Scalia (and the Court) deferred to this decision. However, late in his tenure, Justice Scalia had begun to reconsider Chevron deference. For the Chevron example, in his opinions in King v. Burwell andUtility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA, Justice Scalia criticized agencies\\u2019 assertions of unprecedented power. This panel will explore how judicial deference to agency decision-making has evolved since and whether it is time to revisit the doctrine of \\u201cChevron deference.\\u201d How might Justice Scalia have come down on US v. Texas, net neutrality, or the EPA\\u2019s \\u201cClean Power Plan\\u201d? Might his views have continued to evolve if he had remained on the Court?
