Daines on Supreme Court Decision Overturning Chevron: “Victory for Freedom in Montana and Around the Country”

• June 28, 2024

U.S. Senator Steve Daines issued the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overturns the precedent set by Chevron v. The Natural Resources Defense Council.

"Today's Supreme Court ruling is a victory for freedom in Montana and around the country as it takes power away from unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. who do everything they can to crush our Montana way of life. This ruling will help rein in climate activists at the EPA pursuing their political agendas by using overreaching regulations to kill traditional sources of power that are so important here in Montana. I commend President Trump for appointing justices to the Supreme Court who interpreted the Constitution through an originalist lens in this case."
