Justice Elena Kagan, in her EPA ruling dissent: "The current Court is textualist only when being so suits it.

Senate dynamics right now 👇 Women's Health Protection Act has 49 votes (Dem exception: Joe Manchin). There's a path to majority for narrower Roe codification (49 + Manchin, Collins, Murkowski). There's no path to 60. Filibuster exception needs 50: Manchin/Sinema/Rs are a no. — PolitiTweet.org

A history-making butterfly effect moment: Thurgood Marshall retiring in 1991 due to health issues, replaced by Clarence Thomas. Marshall lived long enough to see Clinton's presidency, but only just. Thomas moved the Court sharply to the right, enabling Bush v. Gore and lots more. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell praises the ruling, saying SCOTUS “has undone illegal regulations issued by the EPA without any clear congressional authorization and confirmed that only the people’s representatives in Congress – not unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats – may write our nation’s laws.” — PolitiTweet.org

The recent series of Supreme Court decisions points to why conservatives fought so hard to create this 6-3 majority. Democrats may control the White House and Congress but lately Republicans have achieved more far-reaching policy victories. And this Court is just getting started. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says “extremist MAGA Court’s ruling today in West Virginia v. EPA will cause more needless deaths.” He adds: “The decades-long fight to protect citizens from corporate abuses is being wiped out in a single case by extremist MAGA judges.” — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer goes after the “MAGA Court” after recent SCOTUS rulings. “First on gun safety, then on abortion, and now on the environment – this MAGA, regressive, extremist Supreme Court is intent on setting America back decades, if not centuries,” Schumer says in a statement. https://t.co/49CElAHpWl — PolitiTweet.org

Huge decision —> Supreme Court curbs EPA’s power to limit greenhouse gas emissions, a major blow to the government’s use of executive power to combat climate change. A 6-3 ruling along ideological lines. https://t.co/ryihEtNFo9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Not only is Kyrsten Sinema a “no” on carving out the filibuster, she thinks it’s MORE important now post-Roe. After the draft ruling she described it as a Senate safeguard Dems have used to defeat anti-abortion bills. Her office sent a list of examples. https://t.co/9AAtjgAwom — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Joe Biden says he supports “an exception” to the Senate filibuster to pass Roe v. Wade protections. Progressives have wanted him to say that. BUT: It’s not his call. It takes 50 votes to carve out the filibuster. Manchin is a firm NO Sinema is a firm NO https://t.co/ohAzyorTM6 — PolitiTweet.org

Slimmed-down reconciliation is NOT expected to include child care, paid leave, cash payments to parents and various other items in Biden’s American Families Plan. Manchin has made clear those shouldn’t be in reconciliation. Big uncertainty: ACA subsidies. https://t.co/KsV5Y43Nwu — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin’s office confirms there’s a path forward on drug pricing through reconciliation, saying he has “long advocated for proposals that would lower prescription drug costs for seniors.” “He’s glad that all 50 Democrats agree,” spokeswoman says. https://t.co/KsV5Y43Nwu — PolitiTweet.org

This is more movement than we’ve seen on reconciliation all year. A source says it’s a product of "major progress" in Schumer-Manchin talks and Senate leadership wants to "move forward with a bill on the floor as early as next month." No final deal yet. https://t.co/KsV5Y43Nwu — PolitiTweet.org
