"Legal Pitfalls Could Trouble Trump’s Executive Actions"

"The courts will ultimately have their say on the new administration’s “energy emergency” and planned environmental rollbacks."

"President Donald Trump on his first day in office declared an “energy emergency” and set in motion the demolition of scores of environmental protections that his administration will have to defend in court.

Legal observers say some of Trump’s ambitions will be harder than others to justify — even before a high court dominated by conservatives, including three of the president’s own picks.

“Yes, it’s a Trump Supreme Court,” said Pat Parenteau, emeritus professor at the Vermont Law and Graduate School, “but I’m not ready to say there are five votes to rubber-stamp whatever he wants.”"

Pamela King, Niina H. Farah, and Lesley Clark report for E&E News January 21, 2025.
