This is big. It severely cut the regulatory power of alphabet agencies. They can't do anything unless congress explicitly says they can to the letter. Government bureaucrats on suicide watch.

This basically neuters the ATF. No longer can they make up bullshit regulations and definition-changes without Congress.
It's not that often I see news about governments limiting themselves.

Well, the amount of power in government stays the same in this case.
The court just took away power to "interpret" (ie, make up new statues) laws away from the 3-letter-agencies and gave that power back to the judiciary, where it belongs. The power now lies in the courts to decide what regulations count within the body of laws passed by Congress, not the alphabet boys.
So basically, the bureaucracy lost power, but the court gained power, by taking back the power that they gave the bureaucracy in the first place.
