Supreme Court of the United States

Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council — Scalia, J., Concurring

June 22, 2009557 U.S. 261

Summary

Justice Scalia concurred in the judgment but criticized the Court’s failure to explicitly accord Chevron deference to the agency’s interpretation of the Clean Water Act. He argued the Court effectively applied Chevron deference under a new name and called for overruling United States v. Mead Corp. Separate opinions are authored by Justice Ginsburg (dissent) and Justice Breyer (concurrence).
