The decision was 6-3. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the Conservative majority, with the three Liberal judges disagreeing. Roberts said “the former advises skepticism about the EPA’s claim” that the law “empowers it to devise carbon emission ceilings based on a generation-changing approach”.
“In the light of the above, this is an important question mark,” Roberts wrote, adding that “there is little reason to believe that Congress has given such decisions to the Agency.”
Roberts wrote that limiting carbon dioxide emissions to a level that would force a national transition from coal use could be a “reasonable” solution.
“But it is not reasonable for Congress to give the EPA the power to adopt such a regulatory system on its own,” according to the law.
“A decision of this magnitude and consistency belongs to Congress itself or to a service acting in accordance with a clear delegation from that representative body,” he wrote.

President Biden said Thursday he supports an exception to the 60-vote limit needed to pass legislation in the Senate to codify abortions and privacy rights after a Supreme Court ruling overturned the Roe vs. Wade landmark. “I think we have to codify Roe v Wade in law. And the way to do that is to make sure Congress votes for it. And if the filmmaker interferes, it’s like voting, it should be, we provide an exception to that. “The exception – the required exception to the film for this action in response to the Supreme Court ruling,” Biden told reporters at a news conference in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday. Pressed a few minutes later to clarify that he was open to changing the rules on these issues, Biden said: “Right to privacy, not just abortion rights, but yes, abortion rights.” Codifying Roe v. Wade demands 60 votes in the Senate, which he does not currently have, unless the filibuster rules are changed to require a simple majority. Major Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kirsten Cinema of Arizona have spoken out against changing the rules for the filibuster. Manchin, however, is open to legislative codification of Roe v. Wade. Biden also said he would meet with governors on Friday to receive their comments and would have “announcements to make then.” “The first and foremost thing we need to do is make clear how outrageous this decision was and how it affects not only a woman’s right to choose, which is a crucial, crucial part, but also to privacy in general, to secrecy in general. . And so I’ll talk to the governors about what they think I should do, too. “But the most important thing is to be clear: we need to change, I think we need to codify Roe v Wade in the law,” he said. More context: There has been no indication that these two senators, Manchin and Cinema, have or will change positions. But Biden’s call comes in the wake of the White House’s efforts to speed up the pre-election emergency – and comes as the National Democrats have raised growing concerns that the Biden administration is not doing enough to address – and fight – the decision of the Supreme Court. Despite the number of flags in the polls and the poor prospects of keeping the majority of Democrats in Parliament, the White House sees a way to win seats in the Senate to increase its narrow majority. Maintaining their current seats and adding at least two new Democratic senators could, in theory, pave the way for securing votes for a change in Senate rules.
