It’s a shame this session of the Supreme Court has come to an end because every decision they’ve handed down has made liberals cry. The last case decided by the court says that the EPA lacks the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Naturally democrats are in full freak-out mode over something they have the power to fix because that’s what kind of bitches they are.
The basic deal here is that Joe Biden came in and instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to restrict so-called greenhouse gases so severely that it would force all coal-fired power plants to close. Those plants and the State of West Virginia sued the EPA and the case made its way to the Supreme Court. The high court ruled that the EPA lacked the regulatory authority to impose such restrictions.
The thing about the EPA is, it’s not a executive branch cabinet, it’s kind of a weird thing that basically derives its authority from the Congress. With their decision the SCOTUS was saying that the president can’t tell the EPA to regulate the coal industry into oblivion, which is correct. The Congress however, could do this, so the following democrat spaz-attack makes absolutely no sense.
Let’s hear from the Jihad Squad first:
Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet. https://t.co/if8PIbfs42

Fascist SCOTUS guts the EPA’s ability to regulate carbon emissions, fight climate change.
The federal government will be restricted from regulating anything of significance in the absence of a clear Congressional directive to do so. https://t.co/zwxyKii9P6

Today’s WV vs. EPA decision is a direct attack that will fuel the climate crisis and will threaten our health and safety in St. Louis.
We will not stand for another inhumane action by a rogue, illegitimate court that puts the future of ALL our communities at risk. https://t.co/u8veDIHi2v

Next, a dumb guy and a fish face:
Today’s SCOTUS decision is another ruling that defies the will of the people & endangers future generations. The Court’s conservative majority is putting polluters over people by narrowing the authority of the @EPA. Congress must take climate action now!https://t.co/oY0vvb6sDL

A radical #SCOTUS continues to strike down progress towards a more just and cleaner planet. A livable climate, a women’s right to control her body, and the health and safety of our most at-risk communities are all under attack by this extremist Supreme Court. https://t.co/IJnzaEKQgN

And the democratic party leadership:
Today’s ruling by a radical, pro-pollution Supreme Court strikes a severe blow to the @EPA’s authority to do its duty: to protect the environment.
In doing so, the Court has bowed to polluters who seek to poison the air our children breathe & the water they drink with impunity.

The decades-long fight to protect citizens from corporate polluters is being wiped out by these MAGA extremist justices
Every Republican who helped seat these justices is complicit
It’s all the more imperative that we soon pass meaningful legislation to fight the climate crisis

As I said, Congress has the power to give the EPA the authority to f*ck the coal industry, they just don’t have the votes.
I’m starting to notice a pattern here with this and many other recent SCOTUS decisions: Democrats have been relying on unconstitutional means to advance their agenda (gun control, abortion, global warming, etc…) and when the Supreme Court strikes these down in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, they cry foul.
Keep in mind that democrats have had decades to codify all of this stuff and at times had veto-proof majorities in Congress, but for some reason didn’t get around to it. Now their “solution” is to blow up the SCOTUS and the Constitution.
