John, we must be ready to fight against any moves of the ultra-conservative court siding with corporations and Big Energy.
John,
Elections have consequences — and the new session of the Supreme Court reflects that as it decides on FOUR critical climate policy cases.
With the court dominated by ultra-conservatives, opponents of climate progress are counting on the justices to rule in their favor.
The climate-related cases to be heard include:
Sackett v EPA, an attack on the Clean Water Act by corporate interests and Republican attorneys general. The case tries to narrow clean water protections, particularly with wetlands;
National Pork Producers Council v Ross, which, while on its face is centered around the humane treatment of animals bred for consumption, could potentially threaten states’ abilities to set their own more ambitious renewable energy targets;
Brackeen v Haaland challenges the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act. The case is a direct attack on tribal sovereignty and would remove obstacles for fossil fuel companies dealing with Native land and water rights;
Moore v Harper would allow state legislatures to be the ultimate arbiter of all election laws, with no ability for courts to intervene. Can you just imagine what would happen to federal climate policy if states had that power?
Corporate special interests and the fossil fuel industry believe the Supreme Court, working hand-in-hand with a Republican-controlled Congress, can end our progress on climate policy and action.
