Grist publishes, and Mother Jones reprints, an article by Zoya Teirstein on what will happen if the Supreme Court overturns Chevron:

The Environmental Protection Agency, for example, could shy away from enforcing any regulations that aren’t explicitly within its purview as determined by Congress. . . .

“Doing away with Chevron deference may give courts even more ability to shoot down federal agency action and limit the discretion that agencies have to exercise the authority that Congress did give them to do big, meaningful things,” [Michael] Burger [of Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law ] said.

Well, yes. Limiting agencies’ discretion and stopping enforcement of laws that aren’t explicitly within their congressionally granted purview is indeed the point.
