On July 30, 2025, Professor Chad Squitieri of Catholic University's Columbus School of Law testified before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Border Management, Federal Workforce, and Regulatory Affairs. The hearing, titled "The Future is Loper Bright: Congress’s Role in the Regulatory Landscape," focused on the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright and its implications for administrative law.
Professor Squitieri highlighted the decision's impact on reducing judicial deference to federal agencies' statutory interpretations, a shift from the previous Chevron deference framework. He emphasized that while Loper Bright was a significant step, it addressed only a narrow aspect of administrative law—specifically, courts' review of agency conclusions of law related to statutory interpretation.
