1. The Justices seemed to me to ask questions unrelated to the law. Why should environmental science

be questioned by that nutcase Scalia?
Why is his myopia ("Where are sea levels rising besides Massachusetts?&quot not scornfully replied to?
Why is another Justice's ignorance and joking about human beings and their "emissions" allowed to be part of this case?

The current court, and I excuse no-one, is a pathetic shadow of past Supreme Courts.

3. I used to like the Washington Post

but I've definitely noticed a difference since Jeff Bezos bought it.

I gained a lot of respect for the paper when I was deployed to Iraq in 2004. I had lots of run-ins with reporters from the Washington Post and they all were great guys to talk to and I liked the way they portrayed the war and the Soldiers who were in it. They did a great job humanizing the Soldiers like me who were in it day in and day out.

I find myself reading it less and less over the last year.

4. I took it more as a quoting the RWers in mocking tones

The essence of his piece is here --

The eventual ruling may not be too awful for CO2 regulation in a practical sense. The justices didn’t seem inclined to overturn a 2007 decision, Massachusetts v. EPA, granting the agency the authority to regulate greenhouse gases. Both sides agreed that they were really arguing over whether 83 percent or 86 percent of emissions could be regulated.

But the politics are more significant. If the court declares some of the agency’s actions unconstitutional, it would inevitably renew the howls from the right about imperial presidency, dictatorship and monarchy. And it would highlight the inherent flaw in President Obama’s “pen and phone” strategy of unilateral action by the executive. For all the complaints of abuse of power, this or any other president can go only so far without congressional approval.
