SCOTUS Should Allow EPA to Address Climate Pollution

Christie Whitman February 28, 2022 Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case challenging EPA’s long-standing authority to address climate pollution from power plants. Two decades ago, in the Whitman case, Justice Scalia wrote for a unanimous Court affirming EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act to protect the American people from air pollution and rejecting similarly sweeping legal challenges.

There’s a vast campaign, led by the current commander in chief, to sow doubt about the results.

Why I Endorsed Joe Biden

Christie Whitman August 20, 2020 Watching Barack Obama eviscerating Donald Trump last night was extraordinary. For a former president to criticize, much less attack, their successor, is just not done.
