- deelowe 3y agoNo. The SC is hostile to regulatory agency overreach as a means of congress not doing it's job. The SC is holding congress accountable. Regulatory agencies should not be able change the law through gradual expansion of scope. In this specific case, state level caps on carbon emissions are well beyond the original scope of the clean air act.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoThe only people who can really hold congress accountable are the voters. Right now it appears that the voters care more about who is “woke” and who isn’t, than about anything else.
