Millions have made the same point, but I also am looking forward to the day that President Warren declares a climate emergency and takes money from the military to fight climate change even after Congress specifically refused to appropriate money for that purpose.
(As if this Court's majority would even care about consistency or precedent once a Democrat is in charge)
In fact, this ruling was just about standing, specifically, the majority suggests that the Plaintiffs do not have the ability to challenge Trump's emergency decree. Theoretically there might be someone out there who does have standing to bring the challenge. But that's the kind of thinking that only works if the conservative Justices were not as politicized as, in fact, they are. I expect no matter who tries to bring a challenge against this order, the Justices will rule that they also just don't have sufficient interest in the dispute to bring the case.
