In a major ruling, the Supreme Court on Friday cut back sharply on the power of federal agencies to interpret the laws they administer and ruled that courts should rely on their own interpretion of ambiguous laws.

Thanks for the ELI5.
Does me that if you can influence a judge for a favorable ruling (even if it’s against the executive agency’s), you’re good?
Yes, now if you have an interpretation and the agency has one the judge has to judge them both equally. If you can offer a more compelling understanding of the law the judge should favor your perspective. But if the agency has a better one they will win.
