chief justice roberts: justice kagan? justice kagan: there's been a fa bit of talk, general, about how because you don' a formula for saying when there's a gap or ambiguityat you go to step t obecause judges may ha dferent tendencies, yokn, which might be temperamental as much as anything else, to find ambiguity, because of that there's going to bsome variability. and it's hard to guthat it will be some variability, but could you talk about the variability in the alternative scenio general prelogar: this is a al important point to focus on because, as i was trying to y earlier, in a world without chevron, it's not as though coress is always going to speak clearly and it won't lee gaps or ambiguities in statutes, genuine ambiguiewhere you apply the tools and at the end you are left with no certainty about what congreswatrying to do. and in that circumstance in a world withouchron, what we'll see is what justice alito was suggesting, the courts wil have to go on and try to answer the qution. but there are 800 district court
