If our courts do things like to circumvent efforts by the government to save our planet, we’re doomed & we’ll be well on the way to extinction level activities.

Here the asshol... erm, conservative justices (you guess who they are) are likely to overturn a case that keeps companies from over-fishing. This case is cited in over 19k cases & has been in effect since 1984. I guess the decimation of our planet doesn’t matter to big business or certain individuals in #SCOTUS

it sounds like you're overlooking that deference to administrations is a double-edged sword.

Really, this isn't about what courts do as it's about what presidents do. Should a president be able to reinterpret laws at will? What of the next time a president reinterprets a climate law to say he doesn't have to regulate pollution?

These justices are trying to rein that in, saying that presidents really do have to follow the laws as Congress passes them, without such reinterpretation.
