Some Senate Democrats are telling President Biden that to take major unilateral steps on climate change, despite a recent Supreme Court ruling on the EPA.

Climatedepot.com publisher Marc Morano praises Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for rejecting a climate spending bill and slams climate activists for pushing ‘necessary bitter medicine’ solutions to the climate.Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Jeff Merkley Monday said it's time for Biden to take massive, unilateral executive actions oneven if it's likely the Supreme Court will strike down at least some of them as unconstitutional.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., last week rejected including climate provisions in a reconciliation bill Democrats plan to pass this month. "A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,"Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Monday said the fact Congress cannot pass a climate package is an embarrassment to the United States on a global scale.Whitehouse and Merkely acknowledged that the ruling will present a challenge.

Whitehouse said he's suggested several options in conversations with the White House. Asked whether those could be upheld in the Supreme Court, he said,"the vast bulk of them could, I believe." Manchin also is not taking the possibility of some climate action off the table. He said on West Virginia's MetroNews Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval that he could be open to passing climate and energy elements of reconciliation later this year if inflation appears to be slowing.
