This reality was even evident in the minority’s dissent, in which Justice Elena Kagan reasoned that the attainment of a political objective matters more than holding to the constitutionally delineated separation of powers. “If the current rate of emissions continues, children born this year could live to see parts of the Eastern seaboard swallowed by the ocean,” Kagan lamented. “Rising waters, scorching heat, and other severe weather conditions could force ‘mass migration events[,] political crises, civil unrest,’ and ‘even state failure,’” she further added, “and by the end of this century, climate change could be the cause of ‘4.6 million excess yearly deaths.’”
Of course, when it came to ruling on an issue that actually does impact the life or death of individuals — Roe v. Wade — Kagan was conspicuously on the other side, attempting to argue that abortion was a constitutionally recognized right when in truth it never has been.
Kagan was far from alone, of course. Headlines in mainstream media fretted over how much harder fighting climate change will now be. And Democrats sounded a five-alarm fire. “Our planet is on fire,” bemoaned Senator Elizabeth Warren, “and this extremist Supreme Court has destroyed the federal government’s ability to fight back.” Others threatened to remake the Court. “Catastrophic,” Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wailed. “A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet.”
Beyond Biden’s heaping abuse onto the Supreme Court on foreign soil and ridiculously asserting that “the Court is legislating” when the opposite is true, the question now is this: How will the president and his leftist handlers respond to this ruling moving forward? Given the fact that the Left never gives up, Biden will likely seek to get around the Court by both ignoring the ruling and moving ahead with his anti-fossil fuel agenda. But he may also declare climate change to be a national emergency in order to enact his agenda without the bothersome need of congressional action.
“I can not share the ‘elation’ of my colleagues on the Supreme Court EPA decision,” meteorologist Joe Bastardi observed. “I have seen them for too long. They will find a way around, and exhaust people taking them to court. These are Marxists and Zealots, and they only obey what suits them. This will likely accelerate the idea I have that Biden is going to declare a climate emergency, and probably use the hurricane season to do it.” He added, "People behind this really woke up with Donald Trump’s election and they will only accept fundamental transformation of our way of life.“
Back here in the land of Liberty, the Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA is a big win not only for America’s coal and fossil fuel industries but for America’s commitment to the Constitution’s separation of powers. It is the legislative branch, not the executive, that has been granted the power to write our nation’s laws. The more this abuse by a bureaucratic state is eliminated, the better it will be for the nation as a whole.
