A key piece of the Obama administration’s climate-change agenda is headed to the Supreme Court.

The high court on Tuesday agreed to hear a challenge to Environmental Protection Agency regulations limiting a number of harmful emissions from factories, power plants and other “stationary” facilities. The case was brought by a coalition of energy and business groups, along with officials from Republican-led states... to fight global warming.

I no longer trust the U.S. Supreme Court, IMO they are no longer apolitical.

Out of curiosity, did you reach this conclusion recently?

I reached that decision after Justice Roberts stuck us with Obamacare, although I have watched as Obama appointed two women who have no business on the court and they were accepted by the Democrat majority Senate, and RINO’s.

I reached it a lot earlier. It was usually obvious how the liberal wing of the court would vote for years. However, what you may be speaking of is the fact that now a FIFTH vote—Roberts—may have been pressured into being political rather than judicial on important matters.

John Roberts has been bought and paid for. Expect the Court to uphold the EPA.

Roberts will try to legislate a carbon tax into it.

Amen to that.

Roberts broke all the rules when he did not decide on the law but changed it to suit his decision.

Precisely. Roberts' job is to rule on the law as written, not to rewrite it to say it is "Constitutional".

Whatever this administration wants out of the Supreme Court, in the way of a ruling, they will get.

The exercise of sending it before the Court is simply more Kabuki theater for the public's benefit and nothing else.
