Attorney General Morrisey Dissects SCOTUS’ Presidential Immunity Decision & Landmark Chevron Deference Case

On this episode, Amanda Head is joined by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey to discuss the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the decades-old Chevron doctrine. This move aims to limit the federal government’s ability to wield power through delegating rather than through Congressional legislation. Attorney General Morrisey offers his insights on the impactful West Virginia v. EPA decision, which he views as a precursor to this significant change by the high court.



Additionally, Head and Morrisey, who is also West Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial nominee, discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to side with President Trump on defining presidential immunity, granting him the same protections that previous presidents, such as Obama, Bush, and Clinton, have had. Nevertheless, General Morrisey says although the court “addressed some of the immediate issues,” when it comes to immunity, he believes, “there’s still a lot of ambiguity” with, “some further questioning down the road.”
