Vf Jeanswear Lp v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Summary

Justice Thomas dissents from the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari, arguing that the EEOC lacks authority to continue investigating a charge after issuing a right‑to‑sue notice. He critiques the Seventh and Ninth Circuits' interpretations, contends that the statutory text of Title VII limits the EEOC’s investigative power, and questions the applicability of Chevron and Auer deference to the agency’s regulations.
