The Supreme Court's Decision to Reverse the Precedent on the Environment
The Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency did not have the authority to require coal-fired power plants to shift to more green sources of energy. The court made up a new doctrine called the Major Questions Doctrine, which essentially says if we don't like what a statute says, we'll say it's really important and it's major. And unless Congress has expressly provided precisely what the agency should do, they'll say the agency has no power.
