> Because agencies receive considerable deference to their interpretation of the law, even when that interpretation flip-flops every four years, we never get a definitive ruling on what the law says. The Court seems likely to greatly reduce this deference, leading to more consistency.
Consistently bad I guess? The agencies may flip-flop but at least they're capable of sometimes acting in the public interest. It's useful to have some kind of counterbalance to corporate power.
When the right wing supermajority SCOTUS strips them of their regulatory power, though, who is going to actually do anything then? Congress? You know who lines their pockets already.
