The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a case that challenged a Minnesota law that would mandate auto dealers to offer more hybrid and electric vehicles.
The high court did not provide an explanation for declining the case on Monday. No justices offered a dissent.
The Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association (MADA) challenged the emissions law, known as the “clean car” rules, after they were adopted in 2021 by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency at the request of Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat. The emissions standards are slated to go into effect in 2024 for 2025 model-year vehicles.
MADA has argued in court filings that the changes will force dealers to sell more electric vehicles than customers actually want, forcing prices to go higher. They argued that the rule is effectively government overreach and asked the high court to scrap the mandate, coming after the Minnesota Court of Appeals in January upheld the law.

US Supreme Court Declines to Take on Major Car Dealers' Case
Might as call it the ‘Put car dealers out of business’ law. . The market for those Turkeys is already saturated.
Are mud huts next.
Eating bugs and rodents is a sure thing.
I think these peoples brains have been through to many freeze and thaw cycles.
It might be legally correct. The 10th Amendment delegates powers to the several States.
The U.S. Constitution does not forbid statewide stupidity in general.
“I think these peoples brains have been through to many freeze and thaw cycles.”
Good possibility. Someone should ask for a government grant to study that issue.
I think we have to adopt the Cuba mindset. Keep what we have running forever. You can still buy crate engines and rebult transmissions.
Very bad news. The SC is allowing a law that forces dealers to sell cars no one wants in one of the coldest states in the county. This means we will not be getting any help from the courts when the rats ban ICE cars even though that is what 80% of the people want.
So over all the USSC is now a communist entity. Sadly Trump didn’t help on that matter.
A majority of Minnesotans are retards.
I pity our conservative FR Minnesotan captives.
car dealerships will move just across the border.
The imported Somalis were a "good fit".
That’s exactly what it is. There’s no Federal matter at stake here.
“It might be legally correct. The 10th Amendment delegates powers to the several States.”
That is not correct because it is not the complete powers assigned by the 10th amendment. You left out that the people retain rights too, not just the States.
10th:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. “
Buy a car in Wisconsin.
These Minnesota electric cars will be different. Those mornings when it's 20 below won't affect the batteries at all.
Neither will the car heater going full blast.
I suspect that GovernTard Tim Walz will be one of the first state governors to advocate for the importation of Palistinivermin into the United States of Retarded Bananas.
“That is not correct because it is not the complete powers assigned by the 10th amendment. “
I don’t disagree but don’t understand. Help me understand why it is not correct. Thanks!
The law is absurd. If the state wants to pass an emissions law why put the burden on the dealers? They have no control over the production, supply, or demand for any vehicle.
The way things are going, dealers may no longer even be required. Tesla doesn’t have any.
“or to the people.”
The people retain powers too. In fact, we retain ALL powers not given to the federal government or the States. All issues not of a federal authority are not automatically the right of the States to decide. States are limited too.
Fascism - it is the government control of means of production.
Nuff said?
