In a stunning 7\u20132 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has delivered a major blow to California\u2019s climate agenda \u2014 and a sharp rebuke to Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s green revolution. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the majority, ruled that California\u2019s electric vehicle mandates and aggressive emissions targets may violate federal law, clearing the way for energy producers to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s approval of those policies. \u201cThe government may not strangle an industry through unlawful regulation and then hide behind immunity,\u201d Kavanaugh wrote, calling out the EPA for shifting its legal stance over time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The ruling marks a pivotal victory for American fuel manufacturers and a severe political setback for Newsom, whose plan to phase out gas-powered cars by 2035 was a cornerstone of his climate platform. It follows President Donald Trump\u2019s recent move to dismantle several California environmental rules, signaling a new chapter in the fight over America\u2019s energy future. Meanwhile, in a separate 6\u20133 decision, the high court sided with federal immigration authorities, reinstating their power to conduct wide-ranging enforcement sweeps. Together, the twin rulings underscore a clear message from the Supreme Court: state overreach and judicial leniency are no longer tolerated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
