The problem with Chevron is then it's left open for different administrations to interpret the statue differently. So I think Chevron wasn't really seen as an option in this case.
But wouldn't that be true all instances where the court invokes chevron? Including Cevron v. NRDC itself? If that's the case, it seems to me that administrative deference is really just a license for govt. agencies to interpret laws however they see fit (within bounds), in which case isn't that as dangerous as the court's new "broader context" precedent?
