Shifting regulatory decision making away from agency experts and gifting it to judges who have interesting notions instead of actual expertise - sounds a lot like something the WSJ editorial board would cheer on.

I guess legislating from the bench is suddenly sexy to the folks who were lambasting it not very long ago.

Executive branch doesn't make the law. Full stop.

> Executive branch doesn't make the law.

Fairly early, the article discusses how this is about the execution of existing law

This isn't legislating from the bench. This is the Court telling the executive branch that they don't have the authority they think they do, and that congress needs to -gasp- write laws. The conceit of Chevron is that it has tricked an entire generation of Americans into thinking that unelected bureaucrats making rules is good actually.
