Abstract

This essay is a response to Professor Cass Sunstein's article, Zombie Chevron: A Celebration, 82 Ohio St. L.J. 565 (2021). In it, I discuss several issues raised by the Supreme Court's 2019 decision in Kisor v. Wilkie. Specifically, the article explores conceptual issues regarding interpretation; the relevance of canons, nondelegation, and the major questions doctrine; and stare decisis.

Keywords: Deference, Kisor, interpretation, major questions, nondelegation canons, administrative law
