Missing justice scrambles Supreme Court climate showdown
Original: A missing justice scrambles Supreme Court climate showdown
A Supreme Court seat is reportedly vacant or its justice absent as the court takes up a major climate case, potentially scrambling the outcome. With an uneven bench, the justices could deadlock or the court's usual ideological balance on environmental regulation could shift, leaving the scope of federal climate authority uncertain. Politico reports the absence is reshaping expectations for one of the term's most consequential environmental showdowns.
Why now: An absent justice in a pivotal climate case could change the court's ruling on federal environmental power.
