"Nearly 200 Democrats are backing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “broad authority” to regulate planet-warming emissions in a Supreme Court case looking at what tools the Environmental Protection Agency can use in this endeavor.
A total of 192 Democratic lawmakers, including 29 senators and 163 House members, signed onto an amicus briefing supporting the agency.
