To the Editor:
Re “The Court Enters the Climate Wars” (editorial, Feb. 11):
Notwithstanding that a unanimous Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit refused to block the Clean Power Plan from taking effect, five members of the Supreme Court, in an unprecedented decision without waiting until it formally heard the case, issued an order temporarily blocking the law.
The coal industry should consider itself fortunate that it could do without the services of lobbyists, since five members of the Supreme Court will accomplish its bidding. History will not favorably judge members of the court who abandon sound legal reasoning and base their decision on right-wing politics.
