Supreme Court to consider if polluting industries can go court-shopping
October 21, 2024
The Supreme Court agreed to hear three cases Monday from industry groups seeking to choose how to fight federal environmental regulations, highlighting a long-running battle over efforts to pick conservative or liberal courts parties believe will be more friendly to their cause.
The Supreme Court’s decisions next year could have enormous consequences for the ability of states and others to challenge Environmental Protection Agency rules. The court’s conservative majority has repeatedly ruled against the agency in recent terms, including blocking implementation of a major effort to reduce smog and air pollution earlier this year.
