Supreme Court limits EPA’s power to cut emissions

Perhaps there is a hyper-partisan congress because it’s a reaction to what some have viewed as a hyper-partisan Supreme Court.

On a positive reading, the Court is now saying states have the right to choose these issues for themselves. There are means in the constitution for overruling a minority of states, that is by passing a constitutional amendment. By allowing and even encouraging the Court to make these decisions, Congress has built up a democratic deficit which has exploded in its face.

On a negative reading, sadly, the Court is just as partisan now but in the other direction. Thus the deficit won’t go away.

The previous court was conservative on a linear scale. The current court is radically conservative with fascist imperialist theological trends becoming more apparent by the day.
