    From Barrett’s dissent:

    In so doing, the Court grants emergency relief in a fact-intensive and highly technical case without fully engaging with both the relevant law and the voluminous record.

    Basically what the current US supreme court majority does to sway many cases in whatever way they feel like: ignore the way the court is supposed to work, ignore or diminish contrary evidence and push their own views.

      Barrett being the sane one here is surprising. Although maybe it’s just token dissent, since they already have the majority without her.

    I don’t know about all of you, but I love me some smokestack smoke drifting over my neighborhood.

      I wish i had stupid amounts of money just to troll the fuck out of these corrupt idiots and build factories strategically placed to spew putrid and toxic pollution in their general direction so they can have a taste of the type of shit they expect average citizens to endure.

        It’s really just sad, because it, once again, puts those with less financial means at a disadvantage. The rich can afford to live far from the smokestacks, while the poor (often minorities and immigrants) have to live near the factories and in turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.

        It’s like this court is determined to send the US as far back in time as possible. Not just on this issue, but pretty much every issue they consider.
