It's a win for clean air and water, and against phony states rights advocacy, too, since toxic mercury emissions do not honor borders drawn on maps:
A month after it hobbled the Obama administration’s signature regulation on climate change, the Supreme Court declined Thursday to block a different air-pollution rule that seeks to cut toxic emissions from the nation’s power plants.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. rejected a request to stay the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards rule, adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency three years ago to tighten restrictions on a class of harmful pollutants that are byproducts of burning coal.The Walkerites have been fighting these public health initiatives for years.
And in many partisan and ideological ways.
