The Runover 6/29/22 Edition
Over the last week, through an amazing series of Supreme Court decisions, the man from Mar-a-Lago has done more for America than Liz and Joe have during their entire lives.
SCOTUS:
The Supreme Court sharply curtails the authority of the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change. In a 6-3 ruling, the court sides with conservative states and fossil-fuel companies in adopting a narrow reading of the Clean Air Act.
Supreme Court Strikes Blow To Administrative State, Narrows EPA Authority To Cap Carbon Emissions
“Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,'” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme. … A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body.”

Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet.

This will be big:
Supreme Court accepts historic case that could reshape powers of legislatures to set election rules
The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear a major election case regarding North Carolina GOP lawmakers having the authority to draw a partisan election map without state judges' interfering.
The decision could impact future congressional and presidential elections. The high court will take up the case when its next term begins in October.

Report: Cassidy Hutchinson Fabricated Testimony About Conversation with Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone
BREAKING: Multiple sources including one who was at the WH on Jan 6 tell me Cipollone was not there in the am when Hutchinson testified she spoke with him. J6 Cmtes is aware of this discrepancy & are ignoring media inquiries about it. Seems she made up the entire conversation
Megyn Kelly does a good job breaking it down.

Liz Cheney Tries to Salvage Her Imploding Committee (With a Little Help From ABC's Jon Karl)
Liz Cheney tells @ThisWeekABC co-anchor @jonkarl the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson “was an unbelievable example of bravery and of courage and patriotism.”
“I am absolutely confident in her credibility. I'm confident in her testimony.”
The full interview Sunday on This Week.
Right after she finished testifying, Cassidy Hutchinson and Liz Cheney rushed toward each other and embraced. I'll stipulate that a congressional hearing is not a court of law, but the cuddly gesture did not exactly shore up the committee's credibility.

Biden Makes Outrageous Attack on SCOTUS on Foreign Soil and Reveals His Position on Filibuster
(There are more videos at the above link)
Biden: "[T]he one thing that has been destabilizing [the world] is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States in overruling not only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy."
The context was Biden was asked by an AP reporter about what he'd say to those who don't believe "America is back" and leading the world forward
Full Exchange:
BIDEN: "You haven't found one person, one world leader to say America is going backwards. America is better positioned to lead the world than we ever have been. […] The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States."
Ahem:
Biden Wants A Filibuster Carve-Out — But Only For Democrats
Joe Biden calls for eliminating the filibuster to legalize abortion nationwide until the moment of birth.
“Attacking…the Supreme Court from the world stage is below the dignity of the president,” McConnell said.
