Whew - final #SCOTUS decision recap. EPA power on regulating carbon emissions reined in. 6-3 majority finds on such a sweeping regulatory scheme - either Congress has to do it or specifically delegate the authority.

Writing for majority, Chief Justice: "A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body." #EPA #SCOTUS

Justice Kagan's dissent: "The Court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening."

On "Remain in Mexico" policy, 5-4 Court says Biden admin can roll it back - but litigation not exactly over.

Writing for majority, Chief Justice: : ... the Government’s rescission of MPP did not violate section 1225 of the INA, and the October 29 Memoranda did constitute final agency action. (cont)

(cont) ... We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. On remand, the District Court should consider in the first instance whether the October 29 Memoranda comply with section 706 of the APA.

Next up at #SCOTUS, 12p retirement of J. Breyer. Then Judge (soon-to-be-Justice) Ketanji Brown Jackson will take her two oaths - one administered by the Chief, the other by her former boss, J. Breyer.

On EPA ruling, from Center for American Progress: "Today, the extremist MAGA Supreme Court majority continued its runaway attack on personal freedoms by going after the very air we breathe and jeopardizing our ability to live on this planet."

Also on EPA ruling, from Rep. Jeff Duncan: "The Supreme Court’s West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency decision is a win for the American people because it pulls back the EPA to its delegated authority and restores the power to give policy back to Congress."
