Rutherford v. United States · ¶76

Congress's express delegation of authority to the Commission limits this Court's role in these cases. Congress often “authorize[s]” agencies “to exercise a degree of discretion.” Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U. S. 369, 394 (2024). “For example, some statutes `expressly delegat[e]' to an agency the authority to give meaning to a particular statutory term.” Ibid. (quoting Batterton v. Francis, 432 U. S. 416, 425 (1977); emphasis deleted). “Others empower an agency to prescribe rules to `fll up the details' of a statutory scheme.” 603 U. S., at 395 (quoting Wayman v. South ard, 10 Wheat. 1, 43 (1825)). Others still authorize agencies to “regulate subject to the limits imposed by a term or phrase that `leaves agencies with fexibility,' . . . such as `appropriate' or `reasonable.' ” 603 U. S., at 395.
