While that is a very important thing to consider when evaluating any law or judicial ruling in general, I don't think it shifts my view much in this case.
Foremost, this decision makes it easier to overturn regulations while making it harder to create them. This strictly moves the balance of power to the right regardless of who controls the presidency or congress at any moment.
Secondly, it moves power out of the executive and to the judicial, which currently leans right, and will likely continue to for decades.
Lastly, there were always limits as too how far of an interpretation they could push because it still has to be reasonable, and still has to follow many other rule-making processes we have. The left got lucky in that the Trump administration was particularly incompetent at following either of those, which we can't always depend on, but even without that it provided some bumpers.
