Supreme Court Puts Biden Policies Like Net Neutrality and Ban on Noncompete Contracts at Risk

Ryan Quillian’s commentary was included in a Wall Street Journal article covering how the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the Chevron doctrine complicates federal agency efforts to act on issues ranging from power-plant pollution to bringing back net neutrality. Ryan comments on how the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) might struggle to defend its ban on noncompete contracts in court.

“The Supreme Court’s decision overruling Chevron makes it more likely that courts could curtail the FTC’s recent attempts to expand its authority to regulate and bring enforcement actions against ‘unfair methods of competition,’” Ryan said.
