That's not really how it works. If Congress wants the executive branch to have leeway then they need to explicitly grant it.
People like to pretend that SCOTUS decisions are retroactively true, that somehow they're discovering legal nuances previously overlooked.
That's not how it works. As the cliche goes, they're not final because they're right, they're right because they're final.
FDR created the modern administrative state. Chevron was decided in the 80s. None of this is how it’s always been.
This is not some minor change, you're going to throw the federal government into chaos. I know that's the goal for a lot of people, but they should have the courage to admit that.
Wow, people are sure selective about which injustices they cannot tolerate "even one day longer".

That limiting the administrative state is far from a monumental changing of the rules. Nobody is challenging the administrative state per se. The major doctrines principle is just being expanded, which limits Chevron, something that only came into being a few decades ago.
The effective reuslt of the non-delegation doctrine is that, when Republicans do not like a policy outcome, Congress is required to employ a time machine to give explicit instructions to an agency decades ahead of time.
These laws are all quite old, many pre-date the EPA even and are from the 1950s and 1960s. They were clearly written for toxic pollutants, which carbon is not.
