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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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