Supreme Court rules the EPA does NOT have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emission caps in 6-3 ruling that deals a huge a blow to Biden's climate agenda
2022-06-30
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The court's ruling prevents Biden from instituting the sort of sweeping emissions rules the EPA tried to implement under the Obama administration

  • The case declares it unlawful for federal agencies to make 'major' decisions without clear authorization from Congress

  • It appears to allow for regulations focused narrowly on capping pollution from smokestacks, but blocks wider rules that set state-by-state targets for emissions

#3  What the Supremes are pointing out is that the EPA has long lived past the original purpose of its existence.

#1  The Guardian, typically, misreports this as "Supreme Court Hobbles Government Power To Limit Harmful Emissions". That's true unless you consider Congress to be a part of the federal government, which, really, it kind of is. The Court is saying that the correct part of the government to make changes this big is Congress, where even conservatives get a vote and politicians sometimes have to go on record.
