The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration's attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming.
This is even more clear cut than Roe that it would be incredibly simple for the Democrats to fix this with legislation, so of course you can count on them doing absolutely nothing and pretending Joe Manchin is the only dem in the pocket of big coal.
the decision just says the EPA can't define stuff w/o congress, no? so congress just needs to pass a law with the same rules. dems are in power it should be as simple as pie lmao
but i think they'll lay this one on the altar of "things we cant do anything about because someone we can override said no"

The Parliamentarian (who serves COMPLETELY at the discretion of just the Senate Majority Leader and can be unilaterally replaced by them) sends their regards
Yes, basically this. The argument for was based on the clean air act as the source of this power of the EPA to regulate emissions. Just need to pass a law basically explicitly giving the EPA that power.
Basically says agencies like the EPA can't make their own rules, that responsibility/power lies with the legislature. The "rulemaking power" can't be delegated, essentially.
