2 The Major Questions Doctrine: Federalist Society

Most lawsuits relate to gray areas or ambiguous regulatory authority. MQD effectively replaces Chevron with these questions.

1) Does the issue involve a question of major economic or political significance?

2) If yes, the agency must point to clear and specific statutory authority granted by congress.

3) If it can't, the court system will decide and will no longer defer to the agency's interpretation.

4) The assumption is that only congress can make decisions that involve major economic or political significance. Unelected regulatory agencies can't make these decision.
