Supreme Court Ruling Puts Biden’s Cybersecurity Plan on Shaky Ground

Biden’s creative use of existing laws to bolster cybersecurity just hit a Supreme Court-sized pothole. The Loper Bright ruling axed Chevron deference, potentially derailing Biden’s cyber regulations and forcing agencies to rethink their strategies. Now, Congress must step up to secure America’s critical infrastructure from hackers.
