The ruling on this case is to be released in the coming days. Arguably and in some regards it's bigger than many of the others recently released. The case is W. Virginia vs the EPA.
At the heart of the case, the EPA was handing out regulations like candy, almost like they were the ATF. They had no law backing up those rulings so 17 states sued and eventually the case was all rolled into one with 26 states suing the EPA over HOW the rules are made and other relevant issues (such as a lack of recourse or accountability from the government).

"Urging the justices to hear the case, one of the challengers, the North American Coal Corporation, acknowledged that the issue of climate change and how to address it has “enormous importance,” but the company stressed that “[t]hose debates will not be resolved anytime soon.” What the court should resolve, it continued, “as soon as possible is who has the authority to decide those issues on an industry-wide scale — Congress or the EPA.” Unless the justices weigh in, the company warned, “these crucial decisions will be made by unelected agency officials without statutory authority, as opposed to our elected legislators.”"

Basically this one ruling has the potential to over rule all government agencies (including the ATF and EPA) and force their 'rule changes' to go through Congress instead of an appointed third party. That would be a doozie.
We should hear about it next week.
Here is a background article that I found online.
