In another politically-motivated decision, the Supreme Court ignored precedent to diminish the power of Federal Regulators, redirecting their role to local, state and federal jurists. In other words, efforts to protect the environment and the health of American citizens will be taken from scientific experts and placed in the hands of judges.
Of course, many of those judges are politically appointed, chosen to protect various industrial, cultural or religious interests. The welfare of our environment and the safety of our citizens will depend on what Party controls the levers of government.
If nothing else, these precedent-breaking decisions of the Supreme Court highlight the importance of elections. Whether we are enamored with Joe Biden or not, we cannot risk a Trump-molded Supreme Court. Donald Trump must be stopped at all costs (including, perhaps, reconsidering the Democratic candidate for President).
