Koh: I think what we are seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most, which is the collapse of our checks and balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government. It's basically a mouthpiece for Donald Trump at this point.

SCOTUS is a joke. Americans need to realize what a partisan body it is. Roberts has done irreparable harm.
just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.
The word "eve" is doing a lot of work here in the Court's 'decision'

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Last year there were more wildfires in Canada than ever before - or so it seemed. We are signing up for more of the same.
Hopefully solar and wind will become so cheap we make the switch to clean energy. Politicians need to provide incentives for EV cars.

Of course, but the causation isn't "voters don't care so politicians deprioritize climate", it's "politicians work very hard to convince people that the economy (read: shareholder profits) must be the only urgent focus".
Climate isn’t the ballot question right now.
Only 13% rank it a top concern — meaning big shifts in climate policy can land softly if voters see economic upside.

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.
China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.
