Supreme Court Corrects EPA Opinion After Gorsuch Confuses Laughing Gas With Air Pollutantwww.forbes.com The error came in an opinion blocking an EPA policy meant to improve air pollution.

Good time to remind folks how the Supreme Court botched basic statistical data in Shelby County. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

It’s a Fact: Supreme Court Errors Aren’t Hard to Findwww.propublica.org A ProPublica review adds fuel to a longstanding worry about the nation’s highest court: The justices can botch the truth, sometimes in cases of great import.

I just read this Forbes piece, and I worry for Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social "Gorsuch’s mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, previously led the EPA during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. She ultimately resigned from the position after a controversial two-year tenure that included massive ..." 1/2

... budget cuts, slashing regulations and a scandal over the Superfund hazardous waste removal program that led to her being held in contempt of Congress." 2/2

All I can imagine is the "why can my grandkid find porn on his phone so often" style of Congressional hearings but applied to all of regulation

Aren't they having trouble getting through the cases they already have? I suppose they're counting on the lower courts to figure out climate change? I'm not sure the right wingers have any room to talk about incoherence.

His mama taught him everything he needs to know about how to deal with the EPA.

Or the part where Alito just invented fake history when he wrote the opinion about abortion.

We have to get house back, keep Senate and get rid of filibuster, get Joe in and get some shit done. Impeach lying justices.

well, actually by the billionaire companies that can afford the lawsuits and the court.

But lawyers know everything! And also, journalists.

I understand why the first place crappy ai work made it into the public space was lawyers were getting caught for using AI and not ever checking the basic facts ai provided.
