The case is an unusual one for the court. Instead of looking at a rule that has already been established, this one will set a precedent for future actions, specifically those tied to the EPA’s authority to regulate power plant emissions. Should the court rule against the EPA, that could hamper the Biden administration’s plans to combat climate change, as regulating authority could shift to Congress.

It seems that from reading this thread, this article doesn’t quite grasp the potential ramifications of this case, which are that it could end the ability of Congress to delegate to federal agencies to implement policy.

    Can’t wait for one branch of the government to just dissolve the other two because the piece of paper they’re reading is functionally impossible to update

    The fact that it's functionally impossible to update the constitution points to a more fundamental political dysfunction than the Supreme Court doing dumb shit. Like there are already 27 fucking amendments to the damn thing so everyone knows that it's not inviolate.

    Even the slave-owning rapists who wrote the damn thing knew that it'd have to change with the times, but it's politically convenient in 2022 to pretend that it's sacred because the alternative is to actually grapple with the fact that the US government is in permanent deadlock with no way out.
