Justice Jackson's Strange Lament
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 Friday that oil refiners can challenge California's electric-vehicle mandate. The decision shouldn't have been controversial, but Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent accusing her colleagues of favoring 'moneyed interests' deserves a rebuttal.
Refiners challenged a 2013 Environmental Protection Agency waiver (Diamond Alternative Energy v. EPA) letting California impose its own greenhouse gas emissions standards and EV quotas. The Biden Administration issued a separate waiver that applies through 2035, which President Trump signed a Congressional resolution last week to repeal.
