whow. If the SC gives him permission to do this--he can do it for ALL laws passed by Congress that he does not like. Blue states are going to be spending LOTS of money for lawsuits instead of helping the people in need.
Something has to give!!

...........He called for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to “expeditiously” identify ways to halt the enforcement of laws, such as the climate superfunds, that he said have threatened “American energy dominance.”

Though Trump specifically names Vermont’s and New York’s superfund laws, alongside California’s carbon cap-and-trade policy, the order gives leeway for Bondi to address other state laws that collect carbon penalties or carbon taxes or otherwise address climate change.


The order gives Bondi 60 days to submit a report recommending action needed to block such laws.
