Abstract
Debates and scholarship over what the major questions doctrine is—and what it will meanfor administrative law—have proliferated since the Supreme Court’s decisions in AlabamaRealtors v. HHS , NFIB v. OSHA , and West Virginia v. EPA . The Association of American LawSchools (AALS) annual meeting last week was no exception, with multiple panels on themajor questions doctrine. These included the Federalist Society’s annual faculty debate ,moderated by my colleague Chris Walker. That conversation focused on whether the majorquestions doctrine is consistent with traditional tools of statutory interpretation and how thedoctrine relates to constitutional values like the separation of powers and nondelegation,particularly in the West Virginia v. EPA case.
