U.S. Supreme Court Endorses Major Questions Doctrine as Interpretive Canon in EPA Ruling

By Michael Nasi, Jennifer Caughey, Taylor Holcomb, & Cody Vaughn

The United States Supreme Court held in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (No. 20-1530) that EPA may not rely upon Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act to “force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal.” Citing the “major questions doctrine,” the Court explained that a Congressional delegation of “unprecedented power” requires a clear statement that is simply not present in the Clean Air Act.
