Just an observation:
If we didn't already have them, the Republicans today would block the
Clean Air Act
Clean Water Act
Safe Drinking Water Act
Endangered Species Act
Toxic Substances Control Act
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
Superfund Act

As it is, they're trying to roll back every one of these protections, and the SCOTUS is helping.

@StephanSpielmann @petergleick Not exactly but they have made it so the courts (you know, the ones with Trump judges) will have the final word on interpreting regulations rather than the agencies that drafted them and enforce them
