Photo: Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images It’s not a novel idea that control of the U.S. Supreme Court is one of the great prizes in contemporary presidential elections.

What makes the study interesting is that it uses the justices’ past rulings, as well as other conservative legal scholarship, to elaborate a picture of the specific legal doctrines they might employ to strike down efforts to legislate against global warming. The study concludes that their records clearly demonstrate they will have many such doctrines to weaponize in this fashion.
It should be noted that Moyn and Belkin are both associated with a progressive group — Take Back the Court — that advocates radical solutions to obstruction by the Court, including expansion of the number of Justices serving on SCOTUS.
