Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is particularly upset
It certainly looks like The Court That Dark Money Built was built with fossil fuel dark money.https://t.co/JPPz5QhBuZ

First off, Whitehouse, like most Democrats, takes a lot of campaign money from these “dark money” groups. You can look it up on on Open Secrets. Second, Sheldon, like most Warmists, isn’t willing to give up his own own use of fossil fuels. How many flights does he take too and from D.C. to Rhode Island? He could take that train. He doesn’t. Has he bought an EV? Downsized his house? Given up eating meat? And more? No. Anyhow, from the link
The baseline response of an ethical judicial system to the ongoing climate crisis should be to give wide deference to the president and Congress—the political branches—to address the impending disaster as they see fit. It’s not for unelected, unaccountable judges to decide the country’s response to global climate change, and it’s certainly not for a judiciary comprised of old people who will not live to swelter in the consequences of their actions to determine whether we take immediate action.
Instead of staying out of the climate debate, however, conservatives in the judiciary increasingly want to put courts right in the middle of it. And, of course, those conservatives reliably interject themselves on behalf of the fossil fuel industry or other anti-environmentalist forces. A byproduct of leaving a conservative majority in control of the courts for the next generation is that those conservatives simply will not allow meaningful congressional legislation to address climate change. Our children will pay the future cost of letting conservatives dominate the courts now.
Well, that’s interesting. It sounds like they want to do something to force the Conservatives off the court, or, perhaps court packing. These are the same yahoos running around yammering about Our Democracy In Peril or something. Looks more like they want a system like Nazi Germany or Stalin’s Russia, with no dissent allowed
This week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could allow it to drastically limit the scope of the Clean Water Act. Conservatives would like to limit the term “wetlands” to areas that are physically connected to a navigable river. That rule would make it easier for industries to dump pollutants in the nation’s wetlands and make it easier for developers to build homes on wetlands without obtaining a federal permit.
And there’s the 3rd thing: it’s not like the Court is going out and attempting to insert itself into “climate” issues (and the CWA is about the environment, not climate scam): people/groups/states are filing suits, and the Court is taking up ones that involve government and Constitutional issues. And the CWA is very much Constitutional, as it involves federal control of just about all waters, including that pond in your backyard. Leftists are using it as a way to force federal dominance after Obama’s Waters of the USA was killed.
Conservative jurists claim that diminishing the power of executive agencies places more power in the hands of the people, through their representatives in Congress. But the opposite is true. Conservative attacks on the administrative state place more power in the hands of unelected judges, who can pick and choose which rules they like and which ones they don’t. And it places more power in the hands of industry lobbyists, who have merely to sway politicians and judges instead of scientific experts.
That’s an interesting, but, very silly argument. It is one, though, that is gaining traction, basically saying that anything that diminishes the administrative state at the federal level places that power anywhere but The People. Regardless, if the climate cult doesn’t want their rules and such ending up in the courts, then write proper laws and rules that do not violate the Constitution.

Following reports that liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer 
President Biden is acting as leader of the free world, combatting Russian aggression against Ukraine. Working closely with political and military leaders of the NATO alliance, and mobilizing economic and military deterrents to avoid another European war, Biden has hit his stride seeking to construct a multifaceted and multinational policy that, to his credit, has a reasonable chance of success.
A major culprit is the lack of a federal occupational heat safety standard. Unlike other workplace hazards with their own specific and enforceable rules, such as
When the coronavirus pandemic first swept Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf closed stores and schools and ordered millions of citizens to stay home. Even four months into the crisis in 2020, all but “life-sustaining” businesses in much of the state were locked down.
…..Spurred by a court order, the Biden administration is proposing long-awaited updates to energy-efficiency standards for manufactured homes that it projects will save mobile-home owners thousands of dollars and prevent millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere in the coming decades. But the new standards, due in May, have also sparked a fierce debate about costs, equity and the future of manufactured housing.
