What's weird about this is that the rule at the heart of this case wasn't even in effect. It had been revoked during the Trump administration. This probably should have been mooted out. But SCOTUS gonna SCOTUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 "The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants..." "... dealing a blow to the Biden administration’s efforts to address climate change. The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s three liberal justices in dissent, saying that the majority had stripped the E.P.A. of 'the power to respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.'...

ChiGoose Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Well, this isn't good... On the independent state legislature theory: Quote The Constitution delegates power to administer federal elections to the states, subject to Congressional override. There is, however, a disagreement about how much power is delegated and to which state actors exactly. There are two relevant clauses. One is the Elections Clause, which reads, “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations.” The other is the Presidential Electors Clause, which reads, “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.” The dispute hinges on how to understand the word “legislature.” The long-running understanding is that it refers to each state’s general lawmaking processes, including all the normal procedures and limitations. So if a state constitution subjects legislation to being blocked by a governor’s veto or citizen referendum, election laws can be blocked via the same means. And state courts must ensure that laws for federal elections, like all laws, comply with their state constitutions. Proponents of the independent state legislature theory reject this traditional reading, insisting that these clauses give state legislatures exclusive and near-absolute power to regulate federal elections. The result? When it comes to federal elections, legislators would be free to violate the state constitution and state courts couldn’t stop them. Extreme versions of the theory would block legislatures from delegating their authority to officials like governors, secretaries of state, or election commissioners, who currently play important roles in administering elections. Somehow, I'm not optimistic that SCOTUS will end up ruling in a way that's good for democracy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Lol. SCOTUS changed constitutional law enough this term that the bar exam had to release a statement: Quote Examinees taking the NCBE-developed July 2022 MBE, MPT, and MEE will not be required to be familiar with this term's US Supreme Court decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writes Adam Liptak in the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/06/30/us/supreme-court-epa#epa-carbon-emissions-scotus In a majority opinion authored by chief justice John Roberts, the justices ruled the Environmental Protection Agency was not specifically authorized by Congress to reduce carbon emissions when it was set up in 1970. The ruling leaves the Biden administration dependent on passing legislation if it wants to implement sweeping regulations to curb emissions. So far the common theme of the court is legislate through the legislature. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
