The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the West Virginia versus EPA case

This special episode discusses the recent Supreme Court oral arguments in the West Virginia versus EPA case. The case, which began as a dispute over the Clean Power Plan, examines whether the Supreme Court should rule on a policy that was never implemented. The EPA argued that the case should be dismissed, but the Court showed interest by asking many questions. While there is optimism that previous rulings on EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases will not be overturned, the discussion of the major questions doctrine is concerning, as it has been increasingly used by conservative justices to limit agency authority. The episode features experts who provide insights on the case and its potential implications.
