'We cannot sit idly by,' says SenMarkey, 'as extremists on the Supreme Court eviscerate the authorities that the government has had for decades to combat climate change and reduce pollution.'
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan warned in her dissent that"today, the court strips the Environmental Protection Agency of the power Congress gave it to respond to 'the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.'"that"a stolen, illegitimate, radical right-wing Supreme Court just let polluters turn back the clock on 50 years of reduced pollution and improved air quality all across the country.
"In the midst of a world-historic climate crisis that requires an unprecedented public response, the Supreme Court of the United States has undermined our government's ability to respond to the needs of our planet and the people," he continued."Not only does this ruling show that the Supreme Court 'majority' has been captured by corporate interests, it shows its loyalty to fossil fuel CEOs and right-wing billionaires, not our Constitution or the people.
Meagan Hatcher-Mays, director of democracy policy at Indivisible—a GNDN member—asserted that"today's ruling is yet another attack on popular policies, supported by the majority of Americans, by justices who were installed by Republicans and special interests who don't care about the future of our planet."
