The Supreme Court on Wednesday reinstated, for now, a Trump-era rule that curtails the power of states and Native American tribes to block pipelines and other energy projects that can pollute rivers, streams and other waterways.
Kagan wrote that her colleagues’ decision “renders the Court’s emergency docket not for emergencies at all.”
LeRoy Coleman, a spokesman for the National Hydropower Association, one of the groups that had sought to halt the lower court judge's order, said in a statement that the court's decision will “ensure that the Biden administration properly considers this important rule as it considers changes promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency less than two years ago.”
