US Supreme Court set to make unprecedented move on policy that could impact millions of drivers — here's what you need to know
Story by Mandy Carr • 10h

President Donald Trump issued an executive order pausing a case against California's Advanced Clean Cars, but the Supreme Court has decided to hear it anyway.

According to Land Line Media, the Environmental Protection Agency granted California a waiver to enact stricter car pollution rules. President Trump revoked it in 2019, and President Joe Biden reinstated it in 2022. Oil and gas companies have sued because they believe reinstating it wasn't legal. 
 
What's happening?
Two lawsuits argue that the Advanced Clean Cars waiver is unlawful.

According to Land Line, "The D.C. Circuit rejected the lawsuits, finding that neither the states nor oil and gas companies have standing to sue."

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the oil companies' case, but only if they have the standing to sue. If the high court finds that they do, it will send the case back to the D.C. Circuit to determine if the waiver is legal.

Such decisions of the Supreme Court today seem to be more based on personal and political biases, not the law.
