The Supreme Court's Extremist Agenda
The Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA “will not only have catastrophic consequences for the environment; it will constrain government’s ability to successfully enact regulations across all areas,” Roosevelt’s Shahrzad Shams writes.
“And it marks a critical juncture in a decades-long battle by the conservative legal movement to dismantle the modern administrative state.”
To meet this moment, our leaders can learn from FDR’s legacy, and “use the full power of the federal government to solve the challenges of the day. . . . They must confront this far-right Court, pass Court reform measures, and fight for their constituencies’ freedom and agency from reactionary forces,” Shams argues. “Our democracy and environment depend on it.”
