It's hard to explain how widespread the repercussions of overturning Chevron deference will be. Even if you narrow the scope down to tech policy, you're left wrangling a super-explainer on a friday afternoon www.theverge.com/24188365/che...
What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and morewww.theverge.com The end of Chevron deference will touch on everything from broadband policy to climate change.

Like... isn't the current illegality of drugs based on the sort of delegation of power that the chevron deference revokes?

No. Controlled substance act and others names a bunch specifically. It *does* create wide latitude for agency action too though

Ahh, i couldn't remember. I just knew that the entire "Schedule" system was created so that congress could delegate the power to make drugs illegal quickly without an act of congress. I assumed it had never been codified, but that was just an assumption.
