I think this whole debate is missing the elephant in the room a bit, which is the partisan battle and stalemated congress.
In a functioning democracy, would have found some compromise and enacted laws a long time ago - and no questionable procedural hacks would have been necessary.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoWith agencies allowed to create law, it allowed congress to be exist in this dysfunctional state. Now, if anyone wants anything done at all, they’ll have to work together. Despite being irritatingly disproportionately older than the populous they represent, they’ve been allowed to act like children. I see this as a win.
- xg15 4y agoWhy would they want to work together? Republicans have reached a particular outcome that is favourable to them with this verdict. Why would they be interested in passing any law that would bring back exactly the environmental protections they wanted to avoid in the first place?
