"Environmental Rulings To Watch At The Supreme Court"

"Justices are expected to issue at least four more decisions that could be consequential for environmental regulators."

"As the Supreme Court gets ready to issue the final rulings of the term, the justices are still sitting on a handful of cases that could deal a blow to environmental protections and agency powers.

In four decisions expected by next week, the justices could toss out EPA controls on cross-state smog pollution, expose old rules to new lawsuits, stifle agencies’ power to handle their own enforcement cases and demolish a 40-year-old doctrine that helps environmental regulators win in court.

The cases are among about a dozen decisions that are still pending from the Supreme Court — and many of those opinions will have a profound effect on the U.S. public and politics, wrote Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice in a recent analysis."
