Supreme Court's conservative majority blocks another Biden administration environmental rule.
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked an interstate air quality rule issued last year by the Biden administration to limit ozone that comes from power plants and industrial sites in the Midwest and sends polluted air drifting toward the East Coast. The vote was 5-4, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the three liberals in dissent.
The Biden administration argued that a court-ordered 'delay would seriously harm the downwind states that suffer from their upwind neighbors’ emissions, placing the entire burden of achieving healthy air quality on those states and exposing their residents to public-health risks.' But Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia went directly to the Supreme Court, seeking an order to block the EPA's rule, at least for now.
