Case 1: Changing after clear notification is not ambiguous.
Case 2: Waiting until every single individual aspect of every single law is litigated means for years to decades the actual meaning is ambiguous until each court case finishes.
If Loper Bright had been decided ten years ago we would already know today whether the FCC possessed this authority or not and it would be settled. Instead, we are about to embark on another round of litigation because the FCC just unsettled expectations again.
Case 1: agencies reinterpret the law ever four years in each new administration until the end of time.
Case 2: we figure out what the law means once and apply it going forward until Congress changes it again.
