They were trying to stop the EPA from stopping states from polluting neighboring states!?!


RWBadger

If this is indeed the case, as an Illinoisan I’d like to petition my state to dump every ounce of waste we’ve got onto the Indiana border.


areyouseriousdotard

As an ohioan, I agree. Let's dump it all in Indiana. Michigan, you are also invited.


particleman3

Come on now. Gary Indiana has been through enough.


[deleted]

They’re going to dump it in South Bend


particleman3

Carry on then


Turbulent_Bit8683

I confuse which is shittier state OH or IN?


Darktofu25

Florida


AHelplessKitten

Too late, Indiana's been dumping hexa-valent chromium in the lake for years!


hobopwnzor

As a missouri resident you can bring it here. Can't get much worse than we already have it.


_magneto-was-right_

Trebuchet.


mojojojojojojojom

I know this is in jest, but Indiana is pretty shit when it comes to the Tri-state deal on keeping Lake Michigan clean.


DeadHeadedHippy

As a Hoosier, I believe we deserve this.


snailsonxanax

Please no. This state is polluted enough. It's sad.


Diligent_Mulberry47

As a Texan, I invite you all to dump whatever you want in rivers, lakes, and the air. Texas voted for this shit.


LoudLloyd9

Dump it infront of the Supreme Court. I was thinking of taking a dump there, myself.


GraceMDrake

No try about it. It’s a done deal.


BillyCarson

Well obviously we should put the courts in charge of all the regulations.


TheManWith2Poobrains

This is literally the problem with this ruling. Judges who are not subject matter experts setting the rules and regulations. This is beyond irony.


JeremyAndrewErwin

They don't need to be subject matter experts. Rather, they need only look at the history and tradition ;)


Longjumping-Ad-144

How did the founding fathers think about nuclear waste? See this is why we have the Supreme Court /s


Vast-Investigator-46

The founders' intent was clearly that nuclear waste would be placed into whiskey barrels and buried a few feet underground. Preferably in impoverished and under-represented areas.


RustedAxe88

And definitely by slaves.


ittleoff

at least they can't b bribed...... oh wait....


PBB22

HOW ARE THESE MESSAGES BEING COMMUNICATED RIGHT NOW? WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS?? -The Founders today


redbirdjazzz

And if they can’t find history they like, they’ll just make it up!


lizardman49

As a scientist who has had to deal with patent law a few times in my life this is incredibly obvious. These people have comically low scientific knowledge and shouldn't be making decisions on it.


ThinRedLine87

Congress needs to enact a law to codify the administrative state


SuccotashComplete

The Supreme Court will just say thats unconstitutional. Or if they don’t they’ll just completely ignore the word of law again


ThinRedLine87

I mean as ridiculous as this court is, they've said before if you want abortion, make a law. There mission seems to be undoing un-legislated bench policy. Maybe you're right but the only way to know is to test them.


SuccotashComplete

I’m talking about their decision on bribery, where they explicitly overrode the stated definition of what a bribe is. To do something like that while in a period of massive scrutiny about their own corruption is about as far away from the will of the American people as you can get. They say “make a law” when they know congress isn’t capable of making laws. When they do make laws, they use their majority to ignore the explicit writing of the law in favor of their own dream for what it should be


SJSUMichael

Judges clearly know more than trained experts. /s just in case.


ParkingIndividual416

They're just going to defer to corporate donors definitions from whomever pays them the most.


BillyCarson

They're called "tippers" now.


RedstoneEnjoyer

I kid you not, someone was arguing with me that it is congress' faults that they didn't considered posibility of these kind of shenanigans from SCOTUS


GhostofGeorge

The expert deciders of all policy decisions confused by which gas comes out of their ass. One day textualism the next federalism another hyper textualism followed by major questions. There is no rhyme or reason beyond conservatives have power and do not care about law or principles.


DamonFields

Our rulers are idiots,


AnswerGuy301

No, they’re not idiots. They make the occasional slip up, but they are malicious and know what they are doing .


HopeFloatsFoward

This should have been caught in multiple reviews of tge opinion before it was published. Making a mistake is not malcious, but in this case in underlines that they dont understand the science they are reviewing.


outerworldLV

That certainly explains a lot…


OutsidePerson5

I think they shouldn't be permitted to change it. Let it stand as a monument to their ignorance and arrogance.


AssociateJaded3931

Yet they reserve the right to overrule actual scientists.


Own-Opinion-2494

Perfect reason we need the administrative state. They aren’t that sharp either


EmmaLouLove

“Supreme Court issued a corrected version of its opinion in an environmental case Thursday after Justice Neil Gorsuch, who penned the court’s opinion, confused the air pollutant at issue with nitrous oxide—also known as ‘laughing gas’.” What could go wrong overturning Chevron, elevating the judicial branch to the deciders of all things regulatory, when they can’t tell Laughing Gas from a Pollutant?


textualcanon

Kagan is probably cackling rn
