In a 6-3 vote, the US Supreme Court killed a legal precedent that conservatives have attacked for decades, known as the "Chevron deference". The court decided in 1984 that judges should defer to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguous parts of statutes. However from now on the courts alone will decide. Roger Hearing speaks to our reporter Nada Tawfik who tells us more about the Chevron Deference and a scientist who is among those opposing the judgement.
