House Republicans Are Getting Their Deregulation Wish List Ready for SCOTUS to Act

The House Republican Study Committee hosted a lunch with a lawyer about overturning Biden-era rules if Chevron goes down. It also told members to “scour Biden-era regulatory actions” for new legal challenges.

The Supreme Court could sharply curb executive power in the coming days, and House Republicans are gearing up to wield the expected ruling against the Biden administration.

On Wednesday, the Republican Study Committee, the largest conservative caucus within the House GOP, held a luncheon for members of Congress with the president of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, one of the law firms arguing to overturn Chevron deference before the Supreme Court.

The lunch came on the heels of a memo RSC sent its nearly 200 House members this week, stating that the Supreme Court could open the door to “rolling back Biden’s woke and weaponized administrative agenda.”
