This term of the Supreme Court has been a big one for based decisions and here’s another big one.
The Supreme Court sharply curtailed the power of the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change. In a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court sided with conservative states and fossil-fuel companies in adopting a narrow reading of the Clean Air Act.The Court found that Congress had not authorized the EPA to induce a shift toward cleaner energy sources.
“Congress did not grant EPA…the authority to devise emissions caps based on the generation shifting approach

The last sentence:
This has a lot of implications then for other efforts by the Biden Administration to impose its will, without Congressional authority.
Amen.

This is YUUUUUGGGGGE!
No bureaucrat can act like a dictator!
Only Congress can pass laws. The corrupt congresspersons will now have to work for a living. Do you think they're ready to roll up their sleeves - - and do some real work? HA-HA-HA! No - - that would eat into their insider stock trading time!

This is another great ruling.
Kagan proves that she intends to LEGISLATE from the bench, not judge the Constitutionality of things against the original document. She says "Whatever else this Court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change."
She's a judicial activist and an idiot. The court is not tasked with "addressing climate change". They are tasked to decide whether an Executive Branch bureaucracy has been doing Legislative Branch legislating. THAT is the court's legitimate responsibility. And Kagan, ever with a brain wired to legislate from the bench, cannot grasp what the actual duties of the Court are.
Five great, important rulings this session.
1. Carrying a gun is a constitutional right.
2. Abortion is a state responsibility.
3. Schools may not ban a coach from prayer in public at the school
4. States may not cut off tuition assistance programs from schools because they have a religious basis.
5. Executive Branch bureaucracy cannot do Legislative Branch legislating.
Five landmark rulings in one session.
Thank you, President Trump. Sanity is beginning to reassert itself.

The first falsehood is that greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change.

Global warming is a hoax and even if real a rise in carbon dioxide would vastly increase vegetation in now barren or sparse areas. The planet has about three trillion trees with more being added over time. North America has more trees than there were at the time of the pilgrims, 400 hundred years ago. Democrat party environmental loons don't like to hear such facts because it hinders their drive to a socialist/communist future with them in charge.

This should translate over to every agency who has decided to take on powers they don't actually have.
And, remember, every agency is required to have oversight, which means those on the respective committee are responsible for the actions and decisions of those agencies. That's where the accountability comes in, and renders "the unelected bureaucrat" mute.

''Climate change'' is just their ridiculous excuse to overstep their authority.
Laws are to be passed by the legislative branch and signed by the executive branch.
Regulations imposed by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in unconstitutional and finally the court has made that ruling. If an issue is really as important as they claim, then congress can do their job and legislate.

This holding applies to all federal administrative agencies. This should put an end to the "Administrative State."
For far too long Congress has intentionally enacted vague statutes that delegate ambiguous authority to federal agencies, especially when the issues were considered to possibly be politically unpopular.
In the Clean Water Act, Congress effectively allowed the Army Corps of Engineers to determine its own authority and jurisdiction, and, as federal agencies always do, the Corps stretched both beyond even the ambiguous limits. If a popsicle stick could float in a body of water, the Corps in effect decided such water was a navigable water of the U.S.

Congress needs to have the guts to review evidence and make decisions accordingly. Let these yahoos figure out the best course of action, not bureaucrats who are not answerable to the people who pay their salaries. Congress needs to make its case to the public. If voters don't like the direction Congress is going, they can vote members out of office.

Frankly this ruling is more momentous and will have greater overall impact on the lives of every American than the ruling on abortion. The "imperial Administrative State" has effectively been vanquished!
President Trump...STILL working miracles while in temporary exile, and even after being impeached 13 times (sure seems like that's how often they've tried).

I'd like SCOTUS to show me where in their constitution that congress was granted the authority to delegate their responsibilities to the executive branch administrated agencies to begin withy. How is any "regulation" that other than vocabulary is in fact a law, imposed by any agency constitutional?

"The closest thing to immortality is a government program" Reagan
The EPA, like most gov't bureaucracies, has outlived its purpose and is desperate for reasons to exist.
Dallas, TX recently tied a record high temp and the media want ape about Climate Change and CO2. The CO2 level is 420 ppm but when the original high was set in 1911 it was 305 ppm. Also in 1911 the population was 92 thousand v 1.3 million today. In 1911 autos were scarce, airplanes rare and A/C didn't exist.
Look up State temp records and you will discover most record highs were set in the 19th and 20th Centuries when CO2 level was lower. Yes Urban Heat Island (UHI concrete and asphalt) have resulted in rising overnight temps and raising the average temp but it is not getting hotter.
BTW Has anyone noticed the Netherlands is now trying to limit NITROGEN which is 78% of our atmosphere?! What's next - water?

We know the implications for so many fascist career bureaucrats but when tyrants like NYC Adams, NY Hochul, LA Gascon CA Newsance and other Democrats say they will ignore the U.S. Supreme Court rulings (and the U.S. Constitution), with no FBI or DOJ to enforce the law?

I don't expect this to stop or slow down any agency from imposing their un-Constitutional rules but at least now when they are sued they will lose but every time they appeal it back up to the SC.

The same restrictions should apply to EVERY Federal agency. They want to enact faux LAWS that rightfully belong in the realm of Congress. The agencies should be spread throughout the Nation and some eliminated in full.

Did I read that right? John Roberts wrote the opinion? Let’s hope this means he is shifting back to a more Constitutional conservative approach in his decisions. One can hope…

These zealots wanted to declare CO2, a life sustaining gas produced by plants, human and animal exhalation and other biological processes, as a "pollutant". Good on SCOTUS.

Greenhouse gases from man does not cause climate change. Natural events like volcanic eruptions create more greenhouse gas than anything done by man. The sun has more of an effect on the climate on earth than man. The oceans give off gases that can affect climate. The problem with the EPA and all the environmental nutjobs is that they think climate change is caused only by man.

That 6-3 ruling woulda been 6-3 the other way had President Trump not been there to appoint three constructionists to the SCOTUS. Thereby shaping it for a generation.
Imagine Garland, Tribe, and the Boy King Oblabber sitting in those seats right now. That is the fire Trump put out. By stomping it. With his boot. Into the ground.

Update - radical leftist Ed Markey (D-MA) is calling for the SCOTUS to be dissolved over this ruling. God forbid he should actually do his job rather than shuffle it off to some unelected bureaucrat in the Deep State.
The left truly is insane!

The Congress creates Bureaucracies so they can shuff off their responsibility and blame nameless/faceless bureaucrats for the problems CONGRESS creates. It's high time the SCOTUS reins in these Thugs. It will be interesting to see if this also applies to the IRS.

I would be interested in reading the three against votes. Essentially, they must argue that Americans can be regulated by laws created arbitrarily by bureaucrats not directly accountable to voters.
It is not clear to me how anyone educated by either Harvard or Yale could attempt such an argument. My guess is they made some appeal to "pragmatism".
